Despite being sold on Walmart.com this bike is assembled, shipped and sold by a small group of people who can be easily contacted and who are promptly replying to inquires.
Another Ultegra drive train for $999. http://www.bikesdirect
1. The pricing benchmark is bikesdirect.com. After 10 seconds, I found this carbon road bike with R8000 Ultegra set for $1600. This is compared to $1600 for a S105 level bike from this Walmart seller. You can argue disc brakes and minor components, but one is Ultegra and one is S105....for the same $1600. They are both 99% imported frame and components being put together and sold by local (American) professional bike people, so there are no nationalistic advantage to either seller.

2. I hate to stereotype fellow cyclists, but many/most of them buy expensive bikes to show off or doesn't understand materials/technology/marketing, so they fixate on brand recognition (the 'sticker') For this big reasons, they wouldn't buy a no name bike, and especially won't buy it from Walmart. Imagine the embarrassment when you pull up to your group ride in full spandex and oakleys and the guy at the next table with his COLNAGO ask you where you got your bike from?!
Do USA made bikes not break? Not according to the youtube videos of downhillers.
Does this no-name bike company in the OP have better lawyers/warranty than bikesdirect.com?
Maybe I'm old enough to remember when department bikes were made here, and they also sucked and break. I've had English frame weld fail, forks crack at the eyelets, etc.

Anyway, for anyone looking for buy cheap bike, unfortunately, you missed the best times for clearance - August-September, and January-February for Walmart and major bike retailers. The best advice I can give you is to set an alert for "bike" and "bicycle" on SD.
But if you want a decent bike now, bikesdirect.com prices are fair. Sure, you might get lucky like I did and got a FELT DECREE 3 full carbon full suspension XT level MTB with PIKE shox for $1500 shipped last summer, but if you need a bike NOW, specially since we're all quarantined, but can still go out and enjoy the bike trails...its not worth waiting months to possibly save $200...

If you just have to have a carbon frame at this price point go check out Bikesdirect, Performance/Nashbar etc.
