Maybe we should wait until July 4th, but show off your metal US built bicycles!

I have two American made for sure and I believe the third is American. I have a 2001 LeMond Zurich, a 1985 Fuso and an unknown year/make fillet brazed bike.

Bought my sister a Nashbar in the '80s (this one brazed lugged) and the frame wasn't bad for the price. Looks nicer than that though.

My hands-down favorite. A 2007 Waterford RS-22 with Reynolds 953 polished stainless steel frame. Brazed by Dave Wages, 2X ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles on AIDS/LifeCycle Charity Ride of 545 miles, and my "go to" bike for 95% of my rides. A truly amazing bike.

Almost forgot about this one......
Mid/late 80's Medici "Aerodynamic" built by Mike Howard...
Haven't gotten any farther on this project since the last time I posted pics of it because of low C&V project funds from recently reduced hours at work......
Hopefully later this year things will improve on the "workfront" so I can get this American crafted bike back on the road..... At least I have most of the components and the wheelset for it already...... Next big step to come is to have the frame refinished and re-decaled....

I will have to see if I can get any closeups of a Nashbar. It does not have any serial number. I posted pictures of the bike here last fall to see if anyone could identify it. There was some thought that it may be a Ritchey. The original color was maroon. I had it powder coated as part of the rebuild.

1992 Cannondale R900 2.8 that I just picked up this morning!
1987 Kestrel 200SC not metal, but still as American as you can get!
Not so vintage Snyder Cycles track bike built by my good friend, Seth Snyder in Atlanta, Georgia. Straight gauge chromoly throughout. It's about as stiff as a steel frame can be. I love it!
and last but not least my 1998 GT Edge Aero, which I'm actually not sure if it was built in the states...

In no particular order.
Made by litespeed in TN:
Also made by litespeed (duh):
WI:
•Not sure if made in US, and definitely sure it's not metal.
Made By Gary Fisher in CA:
Not metal, but made by Aegis in Maine:
PA:
NY:
A little unsure if the 'Dale was made in the US still, same story with the trek 500 and OCLV, and I'm not certain about the Cinelli, but the rest I'm rather sure of.

I have always liked the chrome w/ red decals, bar tape, and cable housings look, as seen on some Paramounts.
In fact, most Paramounts I have seen are fine-looking bikes.

ca. 1998 Klein Quantum Race that I picked up yesterday.
PO installed cheap pedals for me to ride, as he used Shimano and I use Look. Fortunately, he still had the original stem.
Since the Klein is too small, it became a donor for this Litespeed of approximately the same vintage.
