The tariff is on steel and aluminum, not on products made of them
As such, only steel or aluminum bikes made in the USA would be affected, meaning virtually none.
Just about the only bike things that might be affected are tube sets like from Reynolds. However, I suspect, that for customs purposes these are considered a finished item made of steel , rather than steel per se. As such, these too would be unaffected.
The bigger impact
might be on sales of USA branded bikes sold in Europe, depending on how the EU responds.
