taiwan made stuff is usualy pretty good actually. many many high end automotive parts are made in taiwan, but we only know them as japanese or american brands. the quality of taiwan factories is impressive, they are off the coast of china and shouldnt be confused with china, which actually sucks. chinese parts are garbage. NICE FRAME DUDE! lol
So happy for you Erik! If I'll ever come down to Middleton I'll let you know! Don't forget about the Canada bike tour
