For a long time, Devinci was manufacturing their aluminium bikes in Canada with locally sourced aluminium; I believe this is still true for some of their lineup, which is pretty cool. While difficult, especially if a rider is on a budget, I fully support buying locally produced/sourced frames and components when possible. For me, it comes down to two things. First, supporting local companies and brands usually has positive effects on that community, and I think most bike companies will fall into the category of being beneficial for local communities. Secondly, the amount of carbon released from transcontinental transportation of people and goods is insanely high. Cycling can have positive effects on our communities, environments, and world, but I’d still like to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of my riding as much as possible.
