Like good beer, the quality stuff often comes from the Northwest. Hampsten has a nice line up, as does Vanilla. They're out of Seattle and Portland, respectively.

Hampsten uses other top builders for its bikes. The carbon ones are made by Parlee. The titanium ones are made by Moots. Steel is made by Indy Fab. I heard that some of the new Hampsten ti models are built by Kent Ericksen, founder and former owner of Moots. That would be sweet if it's true.

Fark you Americans are funny. You do realize that this is just a small drop in the world of cycling ? In Europe LeMond and more so Trek have little to no standing.You yanks do love drama.

I thought they were famous for cars with a build quality that made american cars' build quality look good by comparison. Lucas, Prince of Darkness. The electrical switches have three settings: Dim, flicker, and off. Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas makes the refrigerators. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Edison invented the light bulb. Lucas invented the short circuit.

Bad memories kept me from buying a Lotus Elise.

Whoa... LeMond bad because he hurt Trek business. Corporate rule: Whatever good for business... good. Whatever bad for business... bad. Truth is irrelevant.
