Shinola Bixby is another wonderful model from Shinola, cool Detroit based brand that produces high-quality, handcrafted watches, leather goods and bicycles. The story of each Shinola bicycle begins in the legendary Waterford Precision Cycles factory in Wisconsin, where frames and forks are individually handcrafted by experts using double-butted cro-moly steel. Once shipped to their Detroit workshop, they undergo a custom-level assembly by bike specialists, and each component is fitted by hand and tested for precision. This close attention to each and every detail ensures that every bicycle that ships from the Detroit workshop delivers impeccable reliability and an unbeatably smooth and responsive ride.
