Oh thanks.

“Trek Bicycles is the largest U.S. bicycle company and they’re the only major manufacturer still producing two-wheelers in the U.S. Overall, Trek makes roughly half of the bicycles manufactured here in the United States. Despite Trek’s American-made legacy, U.S. made bikes account for only about 1 percent of Trek’s total production. Trek makes 4 models in their Waterloo manufacturing facility...the Session, Madone, Speed Concept and Emonda.”

Also, a lot of bicycle parts are made in Taiwan, Italy & Japan. BTW: the remains of Schwinn (after bankruptcy: “Mtn. Bikes are a fad!” -Schwinn 1985) was sold to Dorel (Canada, made in Taiwan & China now). More:
