How cool! Already TE is coming up with production steel frames made in the US, you guys are awesome.
So far we've got:
Kelly, Gunnar, Burley, and Rodriguez
Mimi- The Jamis I rode was at Free Range. They didn't have any steel made in the US.
I can't make Trek's website work on my Mac. I know my Trek 570 was made in Taiwan (ooooh, I never should've sold it!!), does anyone know where the Trek 520 is made?"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

They still make a touring bike (the 520) in steel - but somehow I doubt that it is still made here. I think they only do their highest end carbon here now.

As far as I know Inglis and Retrotec do their own production frames. I totally have the hots for a Retrotec road frame. Snap and I were drooling all over these at the Handmade Bike Show.

That's cool - I know they used to make all of their bikes here, but I'd heard they moved most of the production overseas. I'm pretty sure all of the really high end bikes are made here still, since they are not allowed to send the really high grade CF overseas. I couldn't find anything on the web site about where each bike was made, but perhaps I've heard wrong and they still make all of them here. Originally Posted by Bikingmomof3
