What's the difference between these brands?




Aside from their components, absolutely nothing.  Schwinn, Mongoose, GT, Roadmaster, Dyno, Pacific, and even Cannondale are made by Dorel Industries of Taiwan.  But, some of these products may have a sticker that says made in Taiwan, they're actually made in China.  If you go on the "MadeinChina.com" website, you can actually find the subcontractor who builds the Cannondale frame.  Basically, you can buy a Roadmaster at Walmart for under a $100 or buy a Cannondale at your LBS for over a $1000, you're basically getting the same frame.  Maybe, even the same components if its not a major name.  If it's made in Taiwan, it's probably made in China.
