Every time I see mountainloz's bike I kind of regret giving mine away, even though it was broken

Pretty sure this was made in america especialy seen as its the Johnny T Norba DH version

Are you sure its US made? I thought that Marin, and specially the later ones, was made in USSR, Taiwan or China. The earliest one was made of Sandvik 3/2.5 straight guage in US... ?

Nice build though!

I presume you're referring to my Diamond Back?

And yes, it is US made ......

Cheers

Doesn't get much more USA built than that on the down tube!!!!!!!!

That Klein somehow looks surprised.

Is the Giant made in the USA or designed in the USA. Can't see the sticker. Would be very surprised if not Far East built but stand to be corrected.
