Framebuilder geography bee
Who are your favorite framebuilders who live in unexpected locales? That is, they don’t live on a state that touches an ocean and isn’t Colorado?

I own two Dave Kirks, so my nomination is DK in MT.

I tried to figure this out with my own research, but it was more challenging than expected!

Thx, Brendan

Dave Wages— Wisconsin , although I’m not sure why the location should be all that surprising.

Allied (Hia Velo) and Meech - Arkansas (^^ looks like someone beat me to that one)
Goodrich, Peacock Groove (Eric Noren), Bob Brown, Matt Appleman - Minnesota
Jeffrey Bock - Iowa
Don Walker and Stanridge Speed (I think) - Kentucky
Shamrock Cycles - Indiana
Groovy Cycle works - Ohio
Winter and Bilenky - Pennsylvania

Also, there's a sticky with frame builders by state.. would make this easier..

True.

But the great State of Texas is so big, it's like driving through three states lines to get out or go anywhere.

The reason I posted Tomii is because it would seem like we would have more framebuilders residing here in Texas judging by the size but there's actually not that many as far as I know.
