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

but the 'made in usa' tag is still a bit wank
