I would also like to point out that there are several middle-men to muddy the waters about MUSA. Say you have a Surly or Taiwan-made Hillborne frame (both manufactured by the same outfit, I think). Both Surly and Rivendell are American brands. Their headquarters are here. Their idea and design and marketing and distribution and customer service personnel are here. If you buy either through your LBS, yet another MUSA hand is leaving fingerprints (and making a couple bucks) on your "Taiwanese" frame. The country of manufacture almost seems like an arbitrary detail of the frame's life!
