Old article, but interesting if you want to know about brands relationship with OEM's making there bikes.

The whopping (48.5%) anti-dumping duties – lobbied for by European Bicycle Manufacturers Association (EBMA) members such as Accell Group NV (Lapierre, Koga) and Derby Cycle (now owned by Cervelo suitor, PON Holdings) – were extended for an additional five years in 2011.

Found that interesting also so much for free trade. :o

    You'd arrive at a far shorter list if you looked at brands who actually 'made' their own product - out of the big 'four' i.e. Giant, Trek, Specialized and Cannondale only one actually makes the majority of their own product. Another has practically zero manufacturing capability - that's why it's crazy that people get 'loyal' to a particular brand when the reality is to the depth of the stickers
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
