Kogswell is not a frame builder. Cyclobot, our other business, supplies frame builders with frame building components and frame building services and OEM components: wheels, headsets, seatposts, stems, etc.
We don't make the frames, we make the frames better (and help frame builders be profitable).
We also import frames and components from Taiwan under the Kogswell brand.

The most famous is Maxway, the same frame shop that makes IRO, Surly, some Ritchey, the Rivendell Bleriot, Jamis, On One, Urbane, etc.
