I accept this argument. Since I started this with a flippant comment about the lack of French and Italian cars in the U.S as a reach to explain why the French cycling component market flopped, I now absolutely agree with Steven--this is a World issue, not an American issue. Based on this argument, I think we should all be riding Shimano.
