Dia Compe opens a facility in Fletcher, NC to supply alloy road brakes and brake levers (most with the wonderful "safety levers" attached) to the large domestic bike manufacturers (Murray, Columbia, Huffy and Roadmaster). This was during the large "bike boom" era in the US when anything with two wheels and pedals was flying out the door. |
