Archie Kingpin Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Hi all, been a few years since I was here, so I hope I'm posting in the correct place. I'm looking for local bicycle companies / brands. They can be a manufacturer of any type of bicycle, at any quality level, fully manufactured in SA or imported and branded as local. I'm looking for said companies as part of my research into a Jobs Creation project being run by a client of mine. Many thanks

Many thanksWill be interesting to see how many are really "Local" now with coronavirus shutting down china. If a "local" brand cant get stock in the next 3 months, probably not local.

hansolo Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Nope, Calculus is made oversees but the local guys "engineer" the bikes. You can perhaps add Silverback as a bike company and look at CSixx as well as Lyne Components who does accessories.
