Where were your bikes made?

It's a maroon (kinda) Rockhopper. I doubt it's the best bike ever, as I have four others that are all better . Says made in USA on the frame - I have obviously fallen for the painting thing again

Pics of your Viking anywhere? And the Orbit for that matter?

I'll get 'em.

There's the Orbit last christmas- had about 4 resprays since I picked it up. It's a 653 Orbit used (apparently) by Tim Goulds' brother in the GB squad BITD. Bloody quick.

Bit of a triggers' broom these days though- had new chainstays (wasn't built for 35mm nobbers-wore through) and had a fork built by Neil Orell(the original one was really REALLY light.

And there it is after the Stadt Moers last year. Just to prove it gets used properly......

Nice bike - Is this designated as a cross bike, or is it a steel road bike you've converted?

My Opus is made two hours away in Montreal, Quebec but some of the components are made in Asia. My future road bike is down to two choices, so I'll add that when I finally made a choice.

My new road bike (yay!) is a 2013 Pinarello FP Quattro (preorder) and the frame is made in Asia, but assembled in Italy.

It may be for sale (frame) in the near future- as soon as Mr. Orrell pulls his blinkin' finger out....
