If you are an avid cyclist you probably know about LH Thomson, if you do not, then head on over to Bike Rumor for a little Factory Tour they did. My favorite part of the article (besides geeking out on the machining) is the fact that the extruded Alcan aluminum is from (extruded in) Minnesota.
I am big on buying as much as I can (or can afford) with the Made U.S.A. label.
Next time your in the market for a new stem or seatpost, remember Thomson. Made in the U.S. and pretty darn comparable in the pricing to weight ratio’s.
