Almost all bikes on the planet are made in the People’s Republic these days. It’s unavoidable, unless you get something from a small frame builder. For a lot more money.

I still tool around on one of these babies (I used to import them):

stores.morganimports.com

Not my company, and I;m not in any way affiliated with them.

It weighs probably about 50 lbs altogether, is single-speed, and has rod-brakes.

A truly wondrous machine, in many ways.
