Standard Bykes now in-house

August 08, 2007 @ 9:08 AM by Mark Noble

Standard Bykes have, since the start of the company back in 1991, prided themselves on product quality and attention to detail, and flat-out making rad BMX product. But even so, they never had manufacturing in-house; but that has all changed now. Rick Moliterno, Standard's main man, has just opened up their very own workshop / factory. Here's Rick with more:

"We are happy to announce the future opening of Standard Byke Manufacturing Inc. This will be an expansion of Standard Byke Company. After 15 successful years as a high quality and innovative BMX company- we have decided to expand into manufacturing our own goods. In the name of customer service, supply, warranty, and product development we have decided to build everything, ourselves, in house.

"We are motivated to make this move to improve on some weaknesses that have developed over the past 5 years. When we set out 15 years ago to build better bikes, we planned on making the best possible product as demanded by riders that want the best. We have fulfilled this for 15 years. We plan to improve our customer service and supply by stocking the products we make. What rider or shop wants to wait 8 weeks for a frame? We plan to improve on our warranty process. We don’t think a rider should wait several weeks while their claim is "looked at". We will aggressively pursue new product development. We feel riding demands are constantly changing and our products should progress along with those needs."

"This is a truly exciting time for all of us here at Standard. We are excited to fine-tune our company to match the vision for the future we all share. Look for a better, stronger, and faster Standard beginning late this fall!"
