A new american steel tubing supplier

[e-RICHIE]

Yeah, thats a good description of so many hapless companies run and ruined by idiotic MBA's and investment fund wheeler-dealer gafflers.

But all things being relatively equal, I would much prefer a domestic source that is familiar with close-tolerance drawing instead of some factory in a low-wage country that specializes in tubing for bloated E-Bikes or old-age scooters.

Well that doesn't describe Reynolds, Columbus, Dedacciai, or Kasai so you won't have to adjust your preferences.

Exactly.

[anon.]

I don't really understand why the tubes have to be "American made". What really matters is continuity of product line for those who can't get alternatives elsewhere.

Nobody cares if their components are from Japan, Italy, France, Germany, or even Taiwan. As long as the quality is reliable, and competition is fair(no exploitive or unsustainable labor or environmental practices) .

Why should tubes be any different?

Given the choice between two comparable products, I'd prefer to buy the one that doesn't have to be shipped halfway across the planet.

Given the choice I would just choose the best product for the job. Origin and to a lessor extent price does not matter to me. I just want the best product. Having said that I live in a country that seems to not want to make anything at all and all the materials I use come from OS as none of it is made here.
