  1. To the previous list I would add Lynskey, the family that founded Litespeed. Also, many small custom shops build their own frames in the US.

    Trek says 'made in USA' but most of their frames are made in Taiwan. Their high end bikes are made in the US though. A huge percentage of carbon bike frames and parts are made in Asia. That doesn't diminish the quality. You still get what you pay for.


  2. There are lots of bikes made in the USA.  Many name brand companies like Cannondale, Trek, Lightspeed and Specialized make many of their high end bikes in the America.  (Some of these companies make their products in Asia, as well.  Also, a great number of carbon fiber bikes are made in Asia.)  There are also a lot of specialty manufacturers that make their products here.

    Hope this helps.

  3. "Made in the USA" is not a phrase with a straightforward meaning. No matter how much you try, you still need non-USA parts. For interesting reading on the matter, see http://allanti.com/page.cfm?PageID=328

  4. Do you mean ASSEMBLED or do you mean MADE in the USA?

    The US Government has decided that the words "assembled" and "made" mean the same thing when it comes to products, but the words aren't only spelled differently and sound different, they mean different things.

    There is NO BICYCLE today that I consider "Made in the USA" because the majority of parts are no longer made in the country. OK, there might be some boutique shop somewhere that will make every part to a bike but it would cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

    There are some companies that ASSEMBLE bikes in the USA from imported parts, and some companies that build their own frames, but no company that builds their production-level bike from scratch
