Just stumbled upon this story on Popular Mechanics about American Manufacturing and they featured 5 companies including Litespeed / ABG.

But then I noticed in the comments that ABG is apparently being sued. Is that true?

they're getting sued by fedex - big deal. i get sued by fedex every other week, it's a sign of success in these parts.

good for litespeed/abg for still making stuff in the us of a.

One of my favorites is Mervin Manufacturing,
the guys who make Lib Tech, Gnu, and some Roxy snowboards.

Most of their snowboards have a "handcrafted near Canada" sticker on them.

classic.

Even while facing hundreds of millions of dollars in frivolous FedEx lawsuits, the movers & shakers at HampCo Towers find methods to get framesets into their customers hands! ;)
