Welcome to Paragon Machine Works.
We are a full service machine shop dedicated to the production of high-quality, precision machined products.

Paragon Machine Works products are proudly manufactured on site in the United States of America. All of our products are machined; nothing is stamped, cast, forged, water jet or laser cut. We specialize in products made from aluminum, stainless steel, steel, titanium and plastic.

PARAGON NEWS February, 2010 You asked for it and we made it! Check out our new Expedition Model low mount disc dropout with eyelets (DR0026, DR0027, DR0028 and DR0029). At a full 7 mm thick and with no relief, it's a beefier version of our DR0030 - DR0033. Built to withstand the most punishing ride, it has an integrated ISO disc mount located between the stays, two M5 x 0.8 eyelets and is chamfered 45 degrees x 1 mm around the outside profile and pockets. You have a choice between a short or long 6061 (DR0026, DR0027) or 7075 (DR0028, DR0029) aluminum hanger that bolts on with two M4 screws. The threads are internal, so stripped threads or a damaged hanger are easily fixed with a hanger change (DR4002, DR4003, DR4004 or DR4005). The center of axle to the center of the derailleur bolt is 1.040". Please note: we have a limited number of these dropouts with a 32 mm long slot, Rohloff compatible left side (phone orders only). We're getting excited about the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) in Richmond, VIRGINIA, February 26, 27 and 28th. Come by our booth, number 108, to see some of our latest and greatest products! For more information click on the following link: North American Handmade Bicycle Show, 2010. Online Ordering: Although we're happy to accept orders by phone, fax or e-mail, we ask that you place your orders online if at all possible. It saves time and allows us to track our inventory more effectively.

Paragon Machine Works was founded in 1983 in Marin County, California, by owner Mark Norstad, in the basement of his parent's house with one manually operated lathe and mill. It has since grown into a thriving machine shop, occupying a 6,000 square foot building in Richmond, California, and employing seven full-time and three part-time employees. Paragon Machine Works manufactures and stocks the largest variety of titanium bicycle frame building components in the world.

Mark's passion for machine work started in a high school machine shop class. He continued his professional development by completing an Associate of Arts Degree in Machine Metals Technology from College of Marin, California in 1979. Growing up in the mecca of mountain biking and being an avid rider, it was only natural that his first production job was making dropouts for Trailmaster Bikes. Paragon Machine Works is now known for being the premier provider of precision bicycle components. Mark's skills have been refined over the years by completing complex design and manufacturing products for makers of bicycle frames, heavy off-road vehicles, process and alternative energy equipment. He credits his business success to over twenty-five years of manufacturing experience, his passion for metal working and a dedicated and knowledgeable staff.

Paragon Machine Works prides itself on providing personalized service and superior products. We have design development and high volume manufacturing capabilities, offer competitive pricing and guarantee customer satisfaction.
