I think there is that bar where it's bent at the grips are made in the USA.

 

[quickneonrt]

which may have something to do with why Avy is starting in offer damper units for other chassis

Ordered one for my Boxxer yesterday.

 

[KleinGuy]

I'm just saying Funn Components. They have some variety, but I have no idea what is/isn't made in the US.

 

[KleinGuy]

Well, the HQ is in Taiwan....so it might not help.

 

[Cant Climb]

I thought most of the parts for Fox forks were made in USA......there was that video made by the Transition race team touring the Fox factory.

That bar with the bentds at the grips has the sickest handlebar name ever! GNAR BAR! Too bad it has the goofy bends...

I see nothing about country of origin. It looks like any other catalog Taiwanese bar with an extra bend.

 

[sikocycles]

Looks that way. I could have sworn it used to say made in the USA.

What about carbon bars? i.e. Easton Havoc Carbon. Doesn't look like RF has a DH carbon bar...

EDGE now ENVE has a DH bar coming out after the new year.

America's Pants.

 

[SCARY]

What's the frame gonna be?

 

[bullcrew]

Yes it is....

"Hand Built in Fletcher, NC

Every Double Barrel shock is hand-built in the Cane Creek factory and dyno checked to ensure the highest level of performance and quality control."

You go bill mays hays!!! order now and we'll throw in 2 towels to wipe your shock off free, this is regularly a $20 value that we will throw in in the next 5 minutes but order now malcom is standing by!!!!



Good shocks definently and good company...

 

[Pslide]

Just kidding.



I'm planning something custom. Built in USA with USA drawn steel...

But I was also just interested in what products are still made around here. Not necessarily because I'm overly patriotic, more because local manufacturing is best for the economy and environment. The USA has built some of the most awesome stuff in the world because we were a science, engineering and manufacturing leader at one time. It saddens me to see that is really no longer the case, with a few exceptions. And now our economy is paying.

PS - And I completely understand why everything is outsourced, no need to explain folks.

One of your own designs? Do tell. Who's going to weld it up for you? I know a couple guys who could help you in that arena if you need. Both have frame welding experience.

I think overseas. Thread on MTBR says it is made somewhere that is not in the USA

blackspire for rings, maybe stems... they have a bar now but i'm doubtful of its origins

edit: what about hayes for brakes, or is everything overseas now?

It's early days, mum's the word for now. I do have contacts though. If/when it happens I will keep everyone updated.

Good find. Interesting: "we do not ship our production to offshore countries."

I'm curious now, so I e-mailed them to ask.

That claim is dubious at best. Their pedals are clearly Wellgos. Perhaps they do some post-production machine work on them, but I'd hardly call that Made in North America or Canada. Which brings up the general Made in NA and Assembled in NA question. Lots of stuff is assembled here from foreign parts.

Let me/us know what you find out. I have one of their rings and it's been superb. I'd buy their bars in a heartbeat if they were made in NA. I need new ones and the RF ones were going to be it.

I wouldn't hesitate to run arrow FRX rims on a bike, but they aren't quite as wide as the competition. I have heard from a reliable source that Fox lowers were made in the US, unless I'm mistaken. Don't know about the rest of the parts.

neat stuff here....but none still in production.

HAHAHAHAHA...no

Go with FTW Industries. Without a doubt better quality than any of the outsourced frames, and still cheaper, imagine that.

That is neat. I'll have to surf that later.

Heck yeah, eh!

Still waiting on my immigration paperwork to clear, but I've been on board working remotely since August and should be settled up there in a couple of weeks. I'm excited because I've heard there are a couple of decent trails in the area.

Congratulation - Race Face is one of the original companies I have always liked and BC what a great place to move to. Really the only other place I would move to from NYC. When can I fly out so we can discuss some online marketing initiatives

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but ELKA is out of quebec.
