I have several bikes made by Schwinn that had most components, including the frame, made in the USA. These were all made in the Chicago factory (which I toured in the 60's) and were electroforged tanks.
Didn't Huffy and AMF make most of the parts of their bikes in the USA back in the day? These bikes, while 100% serviceable and "Made in the USA", were of lesser quality than the Schwinns of the time. This was reflected in their price.
All of these bikes had a much higher "Made in the USA" content than the higher end road bikes like the Paramount, or ANY new bike today.
