Seeking bike mfrs...

[Z]

Does anyone know how I can contact the following people / bike manufacturers (for a brief interview for SingleTracks)? ???

- Chris Jones from Rhygin
- Aegis
- Brooklyn Bikes

Any and all leads would be appreciated!

Also, if you know of any obscure local bike manufacturer that I may not know about besides the obvious - Seven, Cannondale, Sinister, Wojcik, IF, Merlin, Fat City, etc. - please send me a private message. If you have contact info, too (both email and phone) that would really help.

I have 18 (!) so far, but I don't want to miss any. (This list includes ones that are now defunct or have moved)
Thanks!

Z,

I'm assuming you've already visited the websites for the info you are seeking right? I know Brooklyn and Aegis have sites.

Have you included NthDegree on your list? New company founded by Mario Galasso, former Cannondale shock design guy, that's located here in CT. http://www.nthdegreeusa.com

Also, does anyone know if Ted Wojcick is still actively building frames? His web site is kind of out of date a bit. Just wondering if he is still building FS frames. Saw one on MTBR in an 18" size for $350 if anyone out there is interested in a TW FS frame.

Any hints on the gist of the article?

Thanks for your help! I think I am hot on the trail of Christian at this point :) But if anyone has an actual phone number or email address I could still use it.

...and I was hoping to get contact names at the other two places, but I don't really need it, I'll just cold call them.

As for the gist of the article, I've already divulged too much! You'll just have to wait for the February issue! ;-)

PS - Yes, Ted is still making bikes. I am still riding and loving the same SofTrac I bought 6 (!) years ago! And I've been riding my Wocjik road bike, too. I just saw him a couple months ago.

What about Vicious Cycles........they are in New York State I believe.

Single speed, steel frame hardtail and 29er specialists right!?
