    Default Velocity to Move Production to USA

    I found this to be a very interesting development (albeit I'm a few days late). I applaud Velocity for bringing manufacturing to the USA. More information via Bike Rumor. Also the press release from Velocity's website here. Thought others would be interested in this article. I whole heartedly support U.S. manufacturing and this is just the type of boldness that needs to happen across the boards to make our economy strong again: rebuilding the U.S. manufacturing base.

    I'm interested to see if they extrude in house or if they source them from places unknown.

    I somehow doubt that you're going to generate 30 million jobs in small volume enterprises like this one.

    The American Century passed, it will never come again.

    Shit man, the US is spending more money than ever refitting and updating it's nuclear weapons.
    I give the world about 15 years, go live it up.

    you're not far off, but think more along the lines of "terminator" than "on the beach"

    What's good for you is bad for us. It's not like they're moving production from China - they're moving from Australia.

    I think if anything this is a sign of US labour becoming cheaper.
