Based: Waterford, WI

Description: Shinola first started making watches and then expanded into other American made or assembled categories, one of which being bicycles.  Most know Shinola as being based in Detroit, but their bicycle department is actually based in Wisconsin. Shinola demands a high price for their high style and brand recognition. Shinola prides themselves on offering a low maintenance bicycle that rarely needs to be adjusted, maintained or worried about, even in rain or snow.  A lion's share of Shinola's bicycles are manufactured in the United States of America, even if it means sourcing product from all over the country.  Shinola bicycles come with a limited warranty.

Sources: Wherever Shinola can source American made parts, they do.  Wheel building is done in California. Frame and fork manufacturing as well as chainstay plate production is done in Wisconsin. Decals are made in North Carolina.  Spokes and nipples are made in Colorado. Frame tubing is done in Mississippi.  Read dropouts and assembly is completed in Michigan.
