With True temper being gone I'm glad to hear about this company Vari-Wall. Seems like they use to be involved in the cycling industry in the 90s and now coming back. Very excited to hear about this. Any one familiar with them?

Is this one of the top steel tubing manufacturers that nobody heard about???

IIRC Kris from 44 Bikes did their logo.

Spoke with them at NAHBS. I'm excited for what they currently offer (apparently worked with Waterford a good amount for the current offerings). Willing to work with builders to fill in the gap left by True Temper or for new stuff not really seen before.

Working on a project right now. I'm hoping they're still doing it when we get the green light.

Steel tubes with shapes like the zonal or even like the gilco but oversize and thin wall... that would be cool to see...

It frankly shocks me that there is enough profit in high end metal bicycle tubes that new companies would be attracted to the industry. Good luck to them.

I don't believe they're new. I think the custom I should receive soon uses some of their tubes.

I wonder if they make cr-mo tubes for other applications like race car frames and this is a side venture from that.

Yup. I thought that as a bike only manufacturer they would have a hard time making a go. From their site:
