Or are they made elsewhere, like so many British companies do.
Sadly English companies so often farm out their manufacturing overseas, it would be great if this video was to lead to a resurgence of your bicycle industry.
Great video by the way!

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Every Columbia I've bought, has sold quickly. Good quality too! I remember the time I rescued a 1974 Tourist V women's model in a 26" wheel size. It was a 50's turquoise with white stripes and lots of chrome. No less than about half a day later, a neighbor who witnessed me pushing that old bike behind the house wanted to buy it. So, I immediately brought it in the garage and spent about a week fixing it up. It was beautiful, I wish I still had picture of it.
I've owned other Columbia's, but my neighbor falling in love with that '74 Tourist is my favorite Columbia story. The '75 men's Tourist V I had was a great ride too. It rode as smooth as silk, I hated to sell it! I got $135 out of it though and didn't have to ship it!

Posters have been wondering about where these bikes are built, so I did a little digging. There is a website for the new Columbia company. http://columbiabicycles.com/ The word "China" does not appear anywhere on their site, but this was posted on their Facebook page a couple of weeks ago:
"Well I was suckered in your wording of just being the oldest brand in the USA thinking that they were built there, received one of the two bikes I bought today just to see made in gosh dam China all over the box! So you know they are going back to you!"
Perhaps they're made in China, Maine.
