Just learned that " In 1974, international bicycle components manufacturer Dia-Compe Japan established their U.S. headquarters in the Cane Creek Valley, just outside of Asheville North Carolina. The official reason for the location was to take advantage of a skilled local manufacturing workforce but rumor has it that company executives were equally fond of Western North Carolina’s beautiful mountains and golf courses.
