d_D...I think 90% of the bikes made in canada are made in taiwan. Its even happening to balfa now that Procycles has taken more control of the building process...I think he was more asking where the companies are based...
Not even RM builds all their frames on the shore. It sucks...but thats the way I look at it. They are still canadian...
I knew france came in somewhere...ahaha

Oryx is another large one that people seem to be forgetting about.
Miele is a smaller company, although apparently I was told by a dealer that they sell more bikes than all the other Canadian companies combined. Total BS, but I could be wrong on that one.
Don't recall any others that I know that aren't listed already.

Oh that just sucks. I had an old RM fusion, had that b/b u-brake '88 I think. I loved that bike, had to retire it when the rear dropouts more or less evaporated.

Miele is also a brand of kitchen utlities, so that's possibly what you're thinking of.
As far as I know, most of the U.S. brands are made in China / India, etc. Pretty much nothing is made in North America these days. Although from what I was told Miele and I assume a few others were still made in Canada. But I'll bow to Mealstrom's post as this was just from a guy running a shop, who at the time I took his word but now I'm fairly certian he was an idiot.
The guy said Ottawa had as much smog as Toronto. I didn't feel like correcting him. He's pro Toronto area, and lived in the GTA for many years, no idea why he moved to Ottawa but he did and runs a bike shop there and I assume, hates his life. Which, makes me happy.

uh, ok.
I live in the GTA. Not a big fan.
It's probably safe to assume that some of the smaller manufacturers are building their bikes here while the bigger companies forever in pursuit of $ instead of a more virtuous goal, like making great bikes, are doing stuff overseas. That doesn't make me happy.
