whateva, I bought one and it's the best ride I have ever had, although before all I have had were mountain bikes.

No, I'm regarding the decision to outsource as being DUMBASS. I guess when it was used in the context above, I see where the confusion stems. Sorry.

And you are calling me a Dumbass? You are the one behind on where this shit is made. Hell I knew when I bought my C'dale in 2004 it would only be a couple of years before they moved out to Asia or started rebranding McBikes made by other manufactures. This is what Trek does. Their bikes are really made by Giant. Yes the F5 is made in Taiwan but the CF Synapse is made in Communist China...I am sorry friendly Free China. Yeah sure."well said, well said" Another dumbass.

ralphp1800 (January 1, 1970 at 7:29 am)

Yes, its true. I found this out after purchasing my own Cannondale F5. Made in Tawain. DUMBASS!

Know anything? european? I know the Canadians own the company. That is European? Whatever Jerkmuffin.

stang661 (January 1, 1970 at 7:29 am)

Not the CF Synapse, Caad 9, F4, F5 Hardtails. Lots of people say big deal. Entry bikes to sell on the lower end. That's what the said about Trek with the 200 dollar bikes. Now most everything they make is Tawainese with more to come. In the end these companies with just have a custom shop of some kind to make a halo model and continue to prentend they make American bikes.

I'll tell the people under the tanks, The people of Tibet and the western journalist that can not freely report from there. Just cause they are making some coin don't think old ways of are going to die. Someone should tell their government to stop with the Communist flags and symbols cause as you so smartly said they are NOT communist. Right.
