Shinola is a new, high-end manufacturer that's set up shop in Detroit, partly to take advantage of that city's long manufacturing and design heritage.

Owned by Dallas-based private equity firm Bedrock, the company will make a variety of products, including bikes, watches and clothes.

Hand built bicycles are slated to debut in the spring of 2013 -- including this model, ideal for commuting -- and start at $2,500.
