Thanks for the clarification Bonktonk.
Too bad about the machined parts, but I am well aware of how hard it is to manufacture locally at a reasonable price.

If I had the spare money and time it would be a fun project to put together an entirely made in North America bike. Would probably end up being some crazy custom steel single speed with exotic carbon bits and would cost about 5-6k!

Higher!

But yeah, steel, Ti, carbon, or bamboo (duhfuqt?) most likely rigid, probably no brakes or tires either

Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

brakes aren't that hard:

There are also several uber-high end road brake manufacturers.

but tires would be hard.

Most other things I can think suppliers for.

So how does this crank work with BSA BB shells? They say their 30 mm spindle will work with all standards including BSA. I dont see any bb though. Really large external bearings?

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
