The paved surfaces that I ride on were made in the U.S.

I recently got a very nice pair of "made in USA" bibs from Performance. Got some Thomson products and a Gunnar, a Lynskey and a vintage USA built Cannondale. Have a great 4th of July!

I own a USA made Canondale, as well as a silver-brazed 531-frame bike made in the USA by Trek. I also own a nice but slightly heavy Raleigh, made in Britain in a good old-fashioned factory.

A Gunnar Roadie is my favorite bike - lots of respect for the knowledge base at Waterford/Gunnar plant. They made several suggestions to optimize the fit and performance - not sure I could have gotten that from an Asian maker. Also, tried to utilize as many Made in USA parts as possible. King, White, Paul parts, SRAM (sort of USA based). Also some other internationally sourced components. German Tires, French wheels and saddle.

Sorry to say Burly, as a CoOperative owned by the people that worked there, went into Bankruptcy years back.
the Private company now Owning the Burly Trade Name has An Off shore supplier making their trailers .
Nope .. Off shore.
Worksman is still in NY, but you are not, I expect, needing a Heavy load capacity Industrial Site Bike.
Trek's Madone Carbon fiber Pro frames are hand made in the US, But I doubt the forks are..

Showers pass is still made here I think.
