    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.

    From what the Trek guys told me and what I can access from the site, they are made in Wisconsin. Granted I could be wrong. When we lived there we went to the production facility, which was cool.

    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.

    Wow, check out the photo book at the Vicious Cycles website! Those are too cool! I have this custom paint job in my mind--black cherry metallic, with little cherries on it. Someday...

    Have you ever looked at the Spectrum Powder Works website.

    Very nice pictures of paint jobs.

    No you are right they did move production overseas. Not sure about the top end stuff. I have a 2005 Trek 5000 and apparently this was the last year this model was made in the USA.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
