Karpiel.
One made in the USA, what more info do you need? Sheesh.
Prolly an XC full suspension.
I like Turner. I'm a total bike whore and my 5 pack has changed my thinking. I don't get a new frame ever couple months now. Actually had my Turner since March of 2006. My friends think I'm nuts...
Never heard of 'em.
That new Knolly 5.5" bike looks sweet. But that's made in Canuckistan and you don't want to support your nation.
Ha. See how they quote a Canadian and a US price? Not what I'd call a smokin' deal.
Endorphin
Rear Shock Fox RP23 Fox DHX 5.0 Air Fox DHX 5.0 Coil

i will buy the bike for you for a profit of $100
Turner. One of the best bike companies out there.
You laugh...but you could.i will buy the bike for you for a profit of $100
Looks flexyThe only XC bike you will ever need...
yeti....and Santa Cruz i think
I could be wrong (as I often am), but SC is "assembled" and/or "designed" in the USA.
I know some of the frames were looking to be welded up overseas. Or at least they aren't made in Portland anymore as far as I know.
I thought yeti started farming out a long time ago?? The last time I was at IB (2002ish?) they were talking about how the asx among other frames were overseas produced. maybe I'm just not remembering that correctly.
SC is super close to having most of their frames built overseas now. They recently decided to move one of the Blur models overseas, don't remember which one though.
USA made and 2K? Trek maybe?
Oh yeah....I think the early AS-R's were in CO, but soon after were in Taiwan....or something. My DH-9 was welded in CO, I know that much. But I'm not sure about current models...
can we get a little more travel please? I dont think thats enough for an xc race bike even.The only XC bike you will ever need...
Does Trek still make any frames in the USA?
I thought that the upper end Treks were US built? Maybe I'm recollecting wrong.Does Trek still make any frames in the USA?
Only SC's currently being made in US are V-10, VP Free and Nomad. All others are overseas (taiwan)
take up golf
Trek=Overseas.

I think you are right about the upper level treks. I remember seeing a show on Travel or HGTV or some crap called "Made in the USA" and they did a thing on Trek carbon road frames. I think it was fairly recent.
I'm not important enough yet.
There's always Merlin, Moots and Indy Fab - ~$2000 frame only
Maybe the carbon Fuels and such? But good luck getting any of those for $2K.
(This should be fun...)
ahem...
The problem with the smaller companies is that their quality is low and you could getscrewed with warranty claims
(sits back and waits eagerly)

What about Transitions?
Sinister bikes is a good company...
i believe u are right, from what i heard; half of the yeti 303 is made here in the USA and the rest is overseas. i could be wrong though
So real answer might be...find a bike that fits, fits your budget and is something you want to ride...to heck where it came from.
Basically.
i have heard that some of the frames are currently being outsourced to devinci.
Quite a few US Builders.
I thought that what he was doing? From purchasing overseas to US makers, right?
