We have a manufacturer here in Tennessee. These guys bought the designs and tooling from the old Burley recumbent manufacturing company. Their products are mostly made locally, by hand, and seem to be competitive with the imports.

I'm not saying import bikes are bad, but if I have an issue, it's nice to have someone here in this country to talk to. Somebody who knows how the bike was built because it was made right there by someone they know on a first name basis.
