I am American... Born and raised. Do I have Asian ancestors? Yep, but my dad is full blooded Italian, born and raised. What are you? What does that have to do with anything? So what are you? German, Scott? Polish? Come on. Dont even show your ignorance by saying you are American. If you can segregate me as Asian then you are something else too unless of course you are 100% born and raise American Indian.
What is your point punk? What is your beef? If labor was cheaper in Norway (that is in Europe), and a company from Norway bought Cannondale would you biatch and moan about it? Out of the U.S. is out of the U.S.
It is estimated (not my estimation, but by the U.S. Government - that is America) that as much as 72% of the day to day items the you use, consume, and rely on originate from a foreign country.
So back to my point, who cares where the product is "made" if the quality and integrity is on par with what we expect.
Me having Asian in me has nothing to do with my view.

I am a patriotic as the next american born tax payer but the fact is, if some parts are made outside the borders of this country, who cares. If the manufacturer can get components made in Asia for a lot less and use that increased profit for better R&D, more advertising, increased company security, warranty backing, etc., then we should be happy that we still have an advanced quad like the Cannondale.
Fact is, I would love the Cannondale regardless of where it was built. A global economy is here to stay and there are many more benefits to it than people realize. Unions, lawsuits and insurance accounts for a huge percentage of U.S. manufacturers costs.
Go check out www.alibaba.com and see how cheap products can be made in Asia. Wanna buy 1000 atv full face helmets? $16.00 each and they are yours. DOT cert even. I bet that most of the AMERICAN companies selling helmets get their from ASIA. More than you know comes from ASIA. Deal with it.

this somewhat harsh post from you is what inspired my comment about your ethnic origins. "Deal with it". This is NOT EXriders.com. Lets leave the BS over there. Shall we?
