Description

BMC was founded by American Bob Bigelow in 1986 to assemble bikes for wholesale distribution under the Raleigh brand. However in 1995 he lost Raleigh license and the BMC brand (Bicycle Manufacturing Company) was born. Like many of his Swiss competitors BMC was slow to begin producing mountain bikes when the well established companies made this important development in the bicycle industry. BMC's only success was with a few niche products in the Swiss market and the company failed to reach the critical size required to ensure its continued existence.

Long before Litespeed became the renowned bicycle company it is today, the small Tennessee-based family-owned-and-run business functioned as a high end custom machine shop specializing in exotic metals. What was then called Southeast Machine manufactured everything from simple nuts and bolts for local companies to underground storage tanks for government agencies. The eldest son, an active runner, suffered an injury and doctors suggested he turn to cycling.

We specialize in high-end custom bikes, complete bikes, bike frames, apparel, specialty components and accessories.
