My wife and I took the tour a couple years ago. The actual tour as well as the video are both great!

That was great. I really liked the way they (GCN) walked you through the full production, including the use of argon in the welding process. Thanks for sharing this.

Sweet

That was great, thanks for posting. I'm lucky enough to have two Moots. So cool to see just how much work goes into every frame. Makes me appreciate them even more!

Excellent video. Gives new meaning to the term, "custom bike". The Moots bikes that I have seen are marvels of craftsmanship.

Not that they do "factory" tours, amazing going through Firefly if you are seriously interested in their bikes. The place is soooo clean and organized. Fun watching Jamie cut and bend tubes.

Having visited a few shops interesting to see how another company does it and the level of care and prep that goes into each frame.

Glad my moots was born in such care.
