I have a Cannondale mountainbike that proudly announces that it was 'designed in the USA'. Wherever it was actually made I don't know but it is very good indeed.

Here is how my original speedometer looks (note it is still sealed with cable and lead)

Good Luck;

We have a set of coffee cups that declare they are "Designed In Great Britain" but also "Made In China".

They always give me a good chuckle.
