Kogswell Cycles, Inc. is a small manufacturer of bicycle frames. Headquartered in Shakopee, Minnesota, Kogswell frames are designed in the United States and manufactured in Taiwan. Kogswell frames often run counter to mainstream bicycle industry trends, eschewing the racing bicycles which dominate the US bicycle industry, focusing instead on more utilitarian designs.
Perhaps uniquely, Kogswell solicits input from its owners and potential owners regarding frame design. The Owners Group mailing list serves as both an informal design group and historical archive of the evolution of Kogswell frames.

Porteur/Randonneur
The Porteur/Randonneur (abbreviated P/R) model was introduced in 2006. Based on classic French bicycle geometry, it is designed to support configuration as a load-carrying (porteur) or long distance (randonneur) bicycle.
