Who says we don’t make anything of value in the United States anymore? This week’s guests are proof that’s not true. In fact, one of our guests is actually exporting a good chunk of his product overseas. So who are these upstream-swimmers? Read on…
Brent Steelman personally hand builds some of the most beautiful and high quality steel frames, forks and stems available today. In looking over his website (which I spent far too much time doing, BTW) I came away with the impression that this is ‘art you can ride’. Steelman Cycles is based in Redwood City, California.
From Redwood City, we head north and east to Chico, California, where we caught up with Paul Price of Paul Component Engineering. Paul and his team design and manufacture brakes, levers, hubs, and other elegant solutions you can’t find anywhere else. ‘Art that can stop your bike’?
Come to think of it, if you were building up a single speed or fixed gear bike, you’d be hard pressed to do better than a Steelman frame loaded with Paul Components.
