I'm proud to say that at my 3 bikes, or at least my frames, were MADE in America.
1. 1984 lugged steel Trek
2. Salsa Ala Carte (chainstay sticker says Made In USA!)
3. Bilenky Signature Clubsman
My new mountain bike frame, due to arrive in 1 week, is from Colorado. I just wished the builder would have proudly proclaimed that on the frame.
While frames made all around the world seem to be perfectly adequate for the job, I feel American made frames have the best quality design, assembly, alignment, and finish. I also tend to feel the brands that have moved production overseas and bank on their heritage to sell the name such as some of the Italian brands mentioned above as well as Specialized, Trek, and Cannondale, are frauds.
Thanks for the insightful information.
