Something fishy about this one. The "Made in USA" bikes they are selling are Worksman bikes. They even use the same pictures from the Worksman website, but they do not tell you this and try to pass it off as their own brand. Looks like they charge the same price as Worksman, so maybe they just get a middle-man commission or something.

Our Industrial Bicycles are simply the most heavy duty bikes made. All feature Dual Top Bar 16G steel frames (extra thick tubing) which are fully lugged. Chains are 50% thicker than conventional bicycle chains and the wheels are able to handle lots of abuse. Weather your intention is to move people or make deliveries, there's an Industrial Bicycle which is right for you. These are not ordinary Bikes. In fact, a major national publication referred to our Industrial INB Newsboy Bicycle as the "Hum-vee of Bicycles". We don't mean to sound ungrateful, but we like to think that the Hum-vee is the "Industrial Bicycle" of Sport Utility Vehicles.

Rhoades Car International

Postby Lock » Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:00 am

made in the USA


Others have tried (and continue to try) to emulate Rhoades Car designs but fail when it comes to his most unique concept - which is to build THE most quality-conscious 4-wheel bicycle products on the market – made in the USA! David called them "The 4-Wheel Bikes that Drive Like a Car” and now his dream claims international fame. What started in Johnny Cash's tiny little home town of Hendersonville, TN, Rhoades Cars have been shipped all over the world - to all seven continents.

Sundial Wire, LLC

Postby Lock » Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:38 pm

SUNDIAL WIRE has been providing beautiful, high quality, cloth covered wire since 1991. Our wire is newly manufactured wire, constructed of copper wire covered in PVC and a cotton or rayon braid. We are constantly expanding our line, adding new colors, styles, and gauges.

We currently have cotton-covered wire in five colors and rayon-covered wire in seven colors, and we are constantly adding new colors in both cotton and rayon.

We carry gauges from 22-gauge up to 12-gauge.

Sundial Wire is trying to have every product we sell made in America. Currently, all of our cloth-covered wires are made in the US and we someday hope to carry American-made plugs as well.

Alternatively, we can buy things from china, use our technology here to create superior things to sell to china (which demand a high price because they can't be made in china), and therefore bring more money to america and more items, meanwhile helping provide China with jobs as it transitions to a society with better living conditions for a billion people.

I mean.....

Citizen bikes are awesome affordable folder bikes. I think they're also made in the U.S (florida or something). http://www.citizenbike.com/about.asp
New to endless-sphere? Notice a lot of signatures recommending Ebike.ca? That's because it's the best place for a quality and manageable, (but still 'real'), first build. Justin is a solid supporter of electric bike development, and a good source of equipment.

My hat off a thousand times to the green people that effectively run this forum. The ES Mods are superb.

I can see no indication on their site that any of their product has NA content.

If NA folks would stop buying cheap (low quality) product from China, China manufacturers would improve quality. It's not a Chicken-Egg thing. China is happy to sell to ignorant consumers. China makes lots of high quality stuff already.

I remember when I opened my package it said something about it being constructed in the united states. I assume the actual alloy parts were not, and it was simply assembled and welded here. You're right I couldn't find anything on their website after a quick glance, but they are definitely based in FL. More importantly, I don't respect the made in america obsession as much as other people [Im not implicating anyone, you yourself say quality would improve in china], although it's usually a motivator to buy something it's not intrinsically morally better or something. it's just often better quality, ect, not better ''because". Ok, rather than preach an annoyance at taking a (imo) misguided moral view on it (which really no one even told me, so I'm definetly preeching) I'll take a look and see if my pamphlet from the bike is somewhere home. If i don't find it, you can feel free to assume whatever, including that the bikes are not make in NA.

Bikes, cargo bikes, cycletruck., framesets
Code: Select all
Bicycles are an argument for localism. My building process reflects these ideals as best as possible: I don’t own a car and drive little, riding frames out the painter’s in Watsonville. Most all of the materials I use are sourced within the US, and some in the Bay Area. My framesets are built by hand, one at a time, slowly.

Souria Products

Postby Lock » Mon Jun 13, 2011 1:45 pm

Built with eco-friendly materials, Souriavélo respects nature and the environment. Its chassis and wheels are exclusively made of North-American red oak - a red-color hardwood. No varnish, no enamel. Strictly ecological treatment based on double-boiled linseed oil - surpassing the best wood treatment available.

AIRLESS NON-TOXIC AMERITYRE WHEELS
Souriavélo's 12 inch tires are airless. The pressure equivalence is 60 psi.
Free of any cancer causing substance, these Amerityre brand tires are made of polyurethane - the same material used for a baby's pacifier: it's safe and recyclable. Since it's also UV-proof, it won't crack over time.
