|   Made In Canada? | Gareth
May 19, 2002 4:30 PM | | So,
What major companies still build frames in Canada? I was recently told that DaVinci Bikes is the only Canadian bicycle company that still builds their frames in Canada (and by hand, too). I was told that Rocky Mountain only makes a couple of their top of the line models in Canada now and has the rest built overseas, which surprised me. As far as I knew, Rocky Mountain still builds every one of their frames in British Columbia - is this no longer the case? And what about Brodie - are their frames made in Taiwan now? None of the websites for these bike companies make it clear where their frames are made.
Any info appreciated!

| NORCO is NOT made in Canada | Cardiac5
May 19, 2002 8:31 PM | | Norco is not made in Canada - Taiwan just like Kona and some lower end Rockies. Try out 24 Cycles, Balfa, Brodie, Dekerf, and I think Cove bikes but I'm not 100 percent sure. |
| Brodie has seperate model lines made in taiwan and BC... | DeeEight

| Procycle builds in canada, quebec in fact... | DeeEight
May 19, 2002 10:40 PM | | TrueNorth handbuilds in ontario, Brodie still offers handbuilt frames
in Vancouver, as does DeKerf also.
The irony is that ProCycle (which owns/manufacturers Mikado, CCM, Oryx, Peugeot, Bonelli, and many other brands) is the owner of Rocky Mountain Bicycles, has a state-o-art frame factory in quebec, pretty
much controls 1/3 the canadian bike market, and yet, rocky sources
a lot of their models from Taiwan. |
