Bicycle recommendation needed (2 Viewers)

[Severum]

Ah! I feared that some Madone owner would get mad at me. That's cool, but in all fairness, the OP doesn't sound like they're ready for such a hot bike.

It was my understanding that all the C'dale frames, other than the Synapse Carbon models, were made in the Pennsylvania factory. This is definitely true as of the 2007, but I'm not sure what changes they've made for 08.

Do you race?

True, no need for a Madone or CAAD9 [/forumsnoop] and full kit on the family ride .

The 08 F series and I think some other entry level frames are made in Taiwan. Pretty sure all the road bikes and the comfort series are still made in PA so your rec holds up. Hopefully Dorel keeps most production here despite the challenge of competing with Asian suppliers at lower price points.

I just got into real road cycling last year so I'm only racing the GPS and a few dogs for now.
