This Flag Hatchet Always Flies

Here at Prolly is Not Probably, I’ll always support domestic-manufactured products. I don’t need the 4th of July to bring about that kind of fervent energy: this Flag Hatchet always flies. The next time you’re looking to purchase  a bicycle or even a backpack, take a minute and think about buying from a domestic manufacturer.

Have a good 4th, blow shit up, drink bourbon and enjoy the time with your friends.

    Any domestic tire sources of quality?

    • http://prollyisnotprobably.com John Watson

      nope, nor chains, nor saddles, nor bars. Not saying you have to go overboard with it, just buy smart.

        Salsa makes some pretty nice bars, and they’re an American company. Not sure if the bars themselves are made here though…

        Can you help convince AArn to machine another run of Chainrings?
        I missed out on both pre sales and have been kicking myself since.

        Thomson is putting out a line of bars starting this fall.  nothing track specific but road drops aren’t a bad compromise if you’re trying to be the Lee Greenwood of bicyclists

    how did you get that wicked patina on your fork. needs a lil Electric Wizard sticker. that would look sweet if the frame minus the cream white was that patina or vice versa. or just the rear triangle.

    bar and saddle angle are perfect. take notes people.

    • Guest

      nah.

      • http://prollyisnotprobably.com John Watson

        Actually, yes, it is. Saddle is perfectly level. Bars, set perfect for reach.

  • Hans
