Fully lugged steel frame, drum brakes, affordable U.S. made bikes...Huh? Who knew?
Has anyone heard of
Worksman bicycles? They make industrial bikes (the ones you see post doc students riding around particle accelerators) and were the first makers of Good Humor Ice Cream cycles.
They seem to be Dutch bikes made in the U.S.A. and for a reasonable price ($300-$600 range)
They make all sorts of frame styles, mostly geared to working bikes.
