I have an almost completely Italian bike build (Fondriest,Selcof,Campy,Selle Italia,etc). My next project is to put together a race ready bike made from parts manufactured in America by an American owned company. I've got some ideas in my head, but haven't looked into where they are actually made (Topolino wheels,Thompson stem/post,SRAM drive train when it's released,etc). First things first...frame and fork. I've been looking at the Trek Madones and the Cannondale 6-13. I love the Scott CF1 because of the way you can see the large carbon fiber weaves (like the Wilier Le-Roi) but the frame is made in Taiwan even though the company is called ScottUSA. A race worthy Ti (or combo) is good as well. Small "back wood" companies can be mentioned if they put out a race worthy quality product. So...Let's see what the "Good 'Ol USA" can offer one of her patriotic sons...
