Interesting information bbattle. Thanks for sharing some of the history about Ashtabula Bow Socket Company. I think what makes it difficult for people to make the connection between the bicycle parts and the company is the name. Who would have thought Ashtabula Bow Socket Company would make bicycle parts? For that matter, what is a bow socket? That had me more confused than anything else.
I'd love to understand the nexus between their bow socket business and their crank and fork business.
