With data, ...but I can't talk about that. ;-)

You must have some interesting stories to tell?
I remember reading this an realising I needed a Supersix Hi-Mod in my life.
I had a Cervelo S1 and S2 but the Cannondale just feels better, more planted and at the same time lighter.

I like that too.

Yes, lots of love for Cannondale here. They gave us the SiSL and the Evo Hi-Mod, the CAAD line, and kept real mens' top-tubes

Yet they steered us away from threaded Bottom Brackets. And for that, they shall never be forgiven :).
Agree about keeping the "real men" top tubes though (ha, hadn't heard it described like that before but I like it). And also stuck with relatively clean non gimmicky lines.

Taiwan is the Republic of China and is a completely seperate entity to China, which is the People's Republic of China.

While the Republic of China claims to be the legitimate government of China the rest of the world only recognises the People's Republic of China as China.

So 'Made in China' means PRC, and Made in Taiwan means RoC.

Anyone living in Taiwan would dispute that. The presence of a standing army and taxes that get sent to Teipei and not Beijing would seem to contradict you.
