Cool story: A while ago the owner of the company did a radio interview, and at one point the interviewer asked if him if he had ever considered having his parts made overseas. Paul (the owner) actually got a little pissed off at the question. His reply: "NO! I MAKE STUFF! THAT'S WHAT I DO!" He went on to say what a great crew he had and that he was proud that he has been competitively manufacturing parts here for over 20 years, while most of his competitors have gone overseas.
It was awesome to hear, and I was/am pretty proud to work for the man. |
Great stuff, pretty sure another member here also works there. On my bike, the wheels, stem, bars, crank & front sprocket are built in the good old USA..
