At Proudfoot Cycles, we consider ourselves to be a boutique bike brand. All of our bikes are built-to-order in Golden, Colorado and we handle all facets of the design, testing, and manufacturing processes in-house. Our style is utilitarian and our background is aerospace and manufacturing. We ride hard and believe it's difficult to beat the comfort, durability, and engineering efficiency of a stee
l frame. From our experience in aerospace, we are confident in our performance driven design and weight-to-strength ratios. And hence we've developed geometry, using aerospace-grade engineering software, that inspires confidence on the descent but is still comfortable climbing. The ride quality of a Proudfoot Cycles bike is unrivaled; and it's performance driven design inspires confidence for athletes and green riders alike. Our light-weight steel frames are designed to take a beating. Their strength is in the quality of the U.S. steel used to build the bikes and the simplicity of the utilitarian design. Occam’s razor states that “the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex”. In other words, the simplest solution is often the most effective in solving a problem. We use high-strength, American-sourced steel tubes and personally handle all facets of the design and manufacturing process in-house at our production facility in Golden, Colorado. Proudfoot Cycles bikes are American made, built to last, and built to be ridden hard. Engineering and manufacturing are in our blood. We are a family business with a long history of successful manufacturing operations stemming. With direct lineage to the Wright Brothers, we're hard wired to make things and bikes are our passion.
