In 1899, Just before the turn of the century, Japan’s Fuji bicycle brand is born. When the first bikes roll off the line, Fuji engineers recognize the need for designs that will perform at a higher level. In 1920, Fuji is well on its way to becoming Japan’s most popular bike, dominating not just the marketplace, but also winning races in cycling competitions held around Japan. Fuji engineers begin researching and developing bicycles for world-class racing, not only to win, but also to use the competitive environment as a laboratory for advanced bicycle technoloy. By 1971, Fuji America is established.

GT BicyclesGT Bicycles was founded in 1979 by Gary Turner, a welding engineer and Richard Long, a bike shop owner. GT mountain bikes are often readily identifiable by the unique "triple triangle" frame design present in most hard-tail designs.

Mongoose BikesFounded in 1974 in a So Cal garage, Mongoose has always been an innovator. From their first product - cast-magnesium MotoMag wheels to their current crop of BMX, Mountain and pavement bikes, Mongoose is synonymous with bicycle performance. "We build for riders. It's why our BMX designers aren't wasting time watching reruns on ESPN2 - they're out testing our new designs at the park, on the track and on the hill. It's what drives us to cook things up like our Front Porch head tube, which lets you fine-tune the handling on our Black Diamond series mountain bikes, or Freedrive suspension technology, which eliminates pedal bob and gives you super-efficient full suspension. Experience that ultimately leads to better bikes for you." - Mongoose

Redline BicyclesIn 1970, Redline was born when two guys with a common interest in welding and motorcycles began making frames and swingarms. With a 6-person staff, they named the company Redline and began producing lightweight, high quality motorcycle frames for flattrack, TT, speedway or motocross. By 1975, Redline began the very first production of BMX frames known as the ‘75 Squareback - due to its angled rear stays. The front end was very short and featured a small wedge gussett. The Prolines were extremely popular and successful race bikes. Redline shifted their interests completely towards BMX racing and have been the team of choice for many Pro BMX riders over the years and continue to be the same today. http://www.redlinebicycles.com/

ColnagoFounded by Ernesto Colnago in 1954 near Milano in Cambiago, Italy, Colnago saw fame as Luigi Arienti rode to a gold medal at the Rome Olympics on a Colnago bicycle. From the late 1960s through the 1970s, Colnago was generally regarded as one of the builders of the world's best custom road race frames. Colnago produced the super-light steel frame used by Eddy Merckx in 1972, to break the world one hour record. This bicycle has been displayed all over the world, including in a display case inside a Brussels metro station. Since the 1980s, Colnago has continued to produce high-end steel bikes, and has branched out into other materials, working with Ferrari to develop new carbon fiber technology, and occasionally introducing titanium and aluminum frames. Its flagship frames, such as the C-40 and the C-50 – respectively named for Colnago's 40th and 50th years in bike building are carbon fiber frames. http://www.colnago-america.com/
