2005 was another pivotal year in Profile’s history: The last year we would consolidate our product line into a full, print catalog.

2000 served as a consolidation of our product. With Dave Robichaux and his crew rolling full speed in the welding shop, SS Frames/Forks/Bars as well as our new, 3rd generation Race Frames/Forks/Bars were getting completed en masse. In the meantime, behind the scenes, Robichaux was prepping a big reveal for […]

In celebration of Profile Racing’s 50th anniversary, owner and founder, Jim Alley, invites us into the company’s original Florida location where some sections of this dark and dusty industrial cave have been sealed off since 2004.
