Materials

The highest quality True Temper chromoly steel tubing and Henry James cast steel lugs make Folk Engineered bicycles completely made in the USA. Building out of steel has many advantages that newer materials cannot offer:

• A light, lively, and comfortable ride

• Methods of joining that allow great accuracy

• Joining occurs at low temperatures, resulting in little metallurgical effects

• The ability for stronger lugged construction

• The ability to use lighter gauge tubing

• The ability to repair in case of accident

• Overall longer-lived frames and a more responsive ride
