I checked out your website and saw that your frames are made in

was over at the bike shop a couple of weeks ago looking for a new bike

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.
