Where is that fancy bike you riding made?


Recommended Posts

Bike 1: Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA

Bike 2: Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA

Bike 3: Golden, Colorado, USA

 

Not to sound elitist but it does feel nice to know you're supporting the "local" builders/fabricators (and yes they are local for me!) instead of an Asian conglomerate.  Now any of you downhillers riding a Morewood - Bonus points!

So what bikes are made in South Africa ?

 

I know MOMSEN is local, but apparently they now only make carbon fibre full suspension bikes ...

 

Which other full suspension MTB bikes are locally manufactured ?

 

 

 

PS - seems I am using the wrong search criteria as I cant find threads on this ...

Mercer bikes but they are hard tails as far as I know. I think there is a guy in CT called Black Composites who hand builds carbon full suss bikes.

As far as I understand, Momsen works like this:

 

All hardtail frames are off the shelf stuff painted with Momsen logo's and while the Vipa (and other DS frames) are designed and developed in SA, they're also manufactured somewhere in the East.
