henryjames.com has a list of custom steel builders who use their lugs. It has lots of smaller, local frame-builders and workshops.
My fav US builder has to be Columbine or Bohemian. These are both rideable works of art.

Also, as has been said, all CDale frames are made in the USA.

I noticed the Classic Rendezvous site lists Olympia's Bill Stevenson. To bad they don't have any pictures of his work up yet. I have seen his bikes & they are tops.

I'm a new user, but I felt I had to brag. Just bought a worksman & am very impressed with the quality. Also, they do custom work for very little money.

When I said Schwinn family, I mean people with the last name of Schwinn. Understand English and what your talking about before shooting your mouth off and through your foot.

It's all good to look for american made frames but half of the major components on the bike will be foreign made.
