    Default A new american steel tubing supplier

    I am considering applying my skills towards creating a series of American sourced steel tubes. They will use 185KSI Air Hardening and 4130 alloys. They will be sourced from a company that has produced around 100 million butted tubes. We will need to determine the minimum number of SKU to begin with. In light of the fact that True Temper has announced their terminating production of frame tubes who is interested in American sourced tubes from a very experienced team?

    Hi Mark, I'm going to move this over to The Path within the FrameForum to make sure it gets in front of the builders on the forum.

    Just curious ; is 4130 "high end" enough once you go through the trouble of a custom frame?

    This is definitely of interest. Will your product be manufactured in the USA?

    I am, most definitely. Though I wouldn't even register as statistical noise on any output chart.
