Supplier Spotlight: Shimano USA

Super-nice Shimano Evo Stealth integrated bar/stem 40cm x 90mm with integrated cable guides.

Shimano handles its OEM accounts directly, rather than through a distributor.  As a small builder, I wondered if Shimano would be willing to handle a small account.  I needn’t have worried; Shimano’s local representative in Park City was very supportive and got Métier Vélo all set up with an OEM account so that I can offer competitive prices on Shimano components.   I’ve been riding Dura-Ace pedals since Dura-Ace existed, and I just discovered PRO cockpit components (the carbon bars are really nice), so I’m please to be able to offer Shimano components on Métier Vélo frames.
