Trek still makes US frames as does Waterford. You can go to Waterford and
they make a frame to fit you. One of our bike club members is in line for a
titanium Waterford proto type. When you talk Waterford you are not talking
Wal-Mart as they can be up to $10,000 for each custom bike.

I
was over at the bike shop a couple of weeks ago looking for a new bike
for
my daughter and noticed that *all* the bikes were either made in China
or
Taiwan... Doesn't *anyone* make a bike in the USA anymore?
One guy builds frames here in Louisiana. Its for the xtreme sports people
who do stunts and dirt racing. Used to build them here @4R7 and then
moved his operation to Baton Rouge...
There's a man near me who makes his frames in his own shop using, get
this, no power tools! He has a peddle operated grinder and other man
powered tools that he uses. Of course, many of his components are
imported as I don't think there are any US makers of brakes, derailleurs,
etc.

I bought a couple of Fuji bikes there two years ago and Tom was a great
guy to deal with.
