Don't call us between 11:30 and 1:00. We won't be here. Every day, weather permitting, we shut our doors, turn on the answering machine and head out for a ride at lunch. With the headquarters situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, our local trails are just a few pedal stokes away. This daily opportunity to get out and ride is a large part of why many started working here, but at the same time, it allows us to test and refine new models, try out component spec, or just drop the boss on a climb. It is core to the process behind the bikes we design and manufacture.

By no means I am supporting outsourcing production to Asia as the global repercussions of such actions are just postponing the global fk up and pushing it on our grand children BUT it is extremely hard to live up to a position where you can honestly ciriticize someone for making stuff in Asia without being a hipocrite. Keep it lower ok?
I've gone out of my way to make my bikes as "North American made" as possible.I also DO do this with my groceries , cars etc etc.
It's stupid expensive and very hard to do.I wasn't dissing any company, since we all know most bikes are made in Asian countries.
I was noting that where the bikes are ACTUALLY made probably don't get the same privilege that the " partially assembled in America crew" gets.But hey, you Keep on judging.Im happy to provide you with some personal insight, so if you wanna take another stab at it.
So basicaly you mean that they should sit quiet under the load of guilt for outsourcing? Were you raised to be a devout Christian or what?
Local produce - stupid expensive? Try harder man. This is exactly where national debt in all western countries comes from
And a lot of the national debt in the US was actually caused by two wars we fund properly and bankers that gambled other people's money away, among others.
Stop treating Asian manufacturing as if it is third world and oppressive. If you were to actually see some of the facilities your products were made in you would realize they are full of real human beings just like you and me, who are talented at what they do, and treated a well if not better than most western employees.
It's unfortunate that a company that sells bikes can't make a video about how they promote a healthy lifestyle for their employees that is unique to most workplaces without someone trying to rip them down.
Does it make you feel like more on man to be so self entitled that you must make a useless dig on someone tying to do something good?
GO YETI !!!
Granted, China/Taiwan are generally known for their quality of life, high pay, freedoms and low hours at work...because that's how you get items made more cheaply. (Sarcasm off)
Seriously, I made a joke.You guys blew it up like a jihadi.
See, another joke...oops.
Here are some of those 3rd world oppressed workers for you ;-)

You made a shit joke, bred out of ignorance.
Maybe they're all out on their lunch ride, no?
Go away.
I think you stated everything perfectly on that subject.Very well said!
But, I would like to state once more..and the last time.-I was just making a joke.Im so used to being negged on here,so I just don't no how to deal with the fame.
i leave the more controversial topics for ride monkey , where there are fewer Europeans who don't like humor to put me in the sub-0 range.
....... no really, could you?
