Ride a bike, share your experience and love. When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. ~Diane Ackerman

Made in America - Bike Project

How easy would it be to make a bike entirely from American Made parts? My goal is to set out and make a Fixed Gear Bike from only USA manufacturers/makers (I don't think it can be done for a geared bike).

One Simple Rule - It needs to be 100% Made in the USA. From Frame down to the tires. Is this even possible?

Please give me ideas for this project:
Frame/Fork: Custom for sure but tubes need to be from US
Tube set:
Paint: Paint/Powdercoat needs to be from US
Seat:
Seat Post:Thompson
Seat Post Collar:
Handlebars:
Handlebar Tape:
Headset:
Tires:
Rims:
Rim Strip:
Spokes:
Nipples:
Tubes:
Chain:
Crankset: Pauls
Bottom Bracket: White Industries, or Phil?
Cog:
Lock Ring: Pauls

Did I miss anything else?

After looking into a number of the articles on your website, I honestly like your way of blogging. I added it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back in the near future. Take a look at my website as well and let me know what you think.

Great article and right to the point. I don't know if this is truly the best place to ask but do you folks have any idea where to employ some professional writers.
