Custom fit bike brands are all over the place. They build in TI, AL, Steel, and CF. Littered up and down the east coast, midwest, south, Rockies, and especially out west.
The internet makes the brands more readily known, but even still it sure seems like there are more over the last decade than back before production shifted almost exclusively to Asia.
