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?

  2. 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.
