    When my Numidian ancestors first made couscous in the 200's BC, they didn't have handmade carbon frames in Arkansas in mind; glad it came handy! 😅 Say hi to Allied R&D!

    Call it national pride or patriotism but seeing the smiling faces of fellow Americans making bicycles makes the premium price Allied is asking TOTALLY worth it!

    Quite something to say we have 100% QC. Good on him for doing that but the commercial implications must hurt.

      This has to be a good thing Hambs and hopefully we can get a Lemond carbon frame to see what the quality is like.

    Great Video Ben! Not only made in the USA but truly hand built from the frame up.

      They're bikes pre-fabed in china shiped to the U.S. painted, bolted with Taiwan and Japan parts, marked U.S.A. and sold to a lot of people. This co. Is true blued

    Great video. Huge fan of this company. Not just great bikes made in USA, but top notch customer service too. (I have an Allied Alfa+, which I highly recommend to anyone looking for an endurance road bike).

    This is one of the videos that inspired me to order an Allied bike. It is very cool to see the actual manufacturing process that promotes local labor. Thanks, Ben.

      I have not, no. I have hardly ridden any mountain bikes in the past few years. I've ridden the Alfa and the Able. I know Matt from Wahoo just got a BC40 though and he's very happy with it.

    Shocked by the cheap face masks these guys are wearing while sanding these carbon frames to prepare for painting! Looks like something from a Vietnamese sweat shop.
