I believe the 9 series (OLCV) are still handmade in the US.

Cannondale was bought by Dorel a few years back and shifted production overseas.

The 5.X Madones are made overseas. The 6.X Madones are made in Wisconsin.

Yeah, DH was disappointed when Cannondale moved all their manufacturing overseas. He has a 2005 R5000 which says very prominently "Handmade in the USA". One of our friends recently got a Lynskey custom mountain bike, seriously drool worthy. I am curiously interested in one of their house blend bikes (semi-custom) but it will be awhile before I can get one.

Correct. The 6 series is still made in WI but all the lower series Madones are now made in Taiwan.
