So your logic says that I should only buy things made in America, and cheer for only American teams. What about the Americans, Levi Leipheimer, Floyd Landis, etc. that ride for European teams. Guess I shouldn't cheer for them. Please, and we wonder why most of the world has a horrible opinion of Americans.
Besides, show me anything built in America, and I guarantee that at least one component came from outside of the country.
 
Favorite bike brand - don't know, ask me when my new bike comes (orbea). I do like cinelli, I've never tried their bikes but I love their handlebars.

Favorite groupset - Campy Gran Sport, 40-odd years old and still reliable.

Cycling team - Gerolstiener, Levi Liepheimer grew up just on the other side of the "hill" from me so he's the hometown boy.

Settle down, man. I was just noting the irony of supporting an "American" team that is sponsored by a Japanese company. I'm a big fan of Gerolsteiner, I don't have any beef with foreign teams.
