Yeah a quick google shows I've been fooled by assembled in America
It makes me wonder about the eewings Ti cranks, I'm guessing they are Taiwan made too. I can't find any mention on manufacturing location for them.
The forks and shocks are stated as being hand-built in North Carolina. Again, I wouldn't be surprised if they are simply assembled in NC with parts sourced from Taiwan or China.
If the crowns, stanchions, damper and lowers were all manufactured in USA then I'd expect the rrp to be significantly more than it is.edit - this article shows that the fork parts are foreign made and its not that big a secret

'merkins are weirdly parochial, which leads a lot of US brands to come up with a variety of weasel words accompanied by big stars and bars flag decals to make them think they're getting more local content than is the case.

I know for a fact that glasses frames that say ‘made in Italy’ are injection moulded in Shenzhen and the ‘making’ refers to the lenses being added in Italy.

I think they were 10 years ago, before EE Cycle Works discovered that they couldn't make money from such a product and partnered with the much larger Cane Creek to make and sell their designs.
