Titec is in San Jose

Jericho is in Santa Rosa

... methinks. I could be wrong.

I guess Santa Cruz isn't technically in the Bay area proper, but you could spit and hit it.

Any others?

White Industries is in Petaluma

A little farther north:
Retrotec, Napa
Sycip, Sonoma

No longer making mtn bikes but the Legendary Joe Breeze is making commuter bikes based out of Sausalito.

And then down south is Specialized in Morgan Hill.

Fox little farther south

Fox Racing Shox is based in Watsonville, a few minutes southeast of Santa Cruz.

there's also Wrench Science, a custom bike builder in Oakland.

I bought a bike from Gary Fisher up there in Marin when I lived there...

Of course that was the 80's. He has probably been integrated into the borg by now...

 

[Speedub.Nate]

...and don't forget Rohloff's North American shop/headquarters in Berkeley -- one of only a few places where you can drop in and demo a Speedhub.

Momo Velo in Berkeley.

They create custom builds based on naked Surly frames.

Nice old school European looking builds.

If you want to include old school builders there's Otis Guy in Fairfax:

http://www.otisguycycles.com

Bernie Mikkelsen in Alameda:

http://www.mikkelsenframes.com

Ed Litton in Point Richmond:

http://www.littoncycles.com/

And Eisentraut in Oakland (still I think, not by Albert but his son(s) maybe):

http://www.eisentraut.com

I don't know much about Chris Zanotti in Fremont:

http://www.zanotticycles.com

Not for technical off road, but Bruce Gordon in Petaluma:

http://www.bgcycles.com

If we can we count southerly locations there's Rock Lobster in Santa Cruz, Kestrel in Watsonville, and Calfee in Scotts Valley makes a CX bike. Can Bontrager still be considered from Santa Cruz?

I've probably missed a bunch. I also assume the original post was in regard to places associated with mountain bikes. If you wanted to include any kind of bike, the list would get even longer with such interesting builders like Richard DiGennaro at Solo Velo in Albany:

I suppose professional level wheelbuilds don't exactly make a 'bicycle company' but there's also Steve Gravenites at Gravy Wheels in San Anselmo:

http://www.gravywheels.net

ps Technically I think I'd call Wrench Science/Medina Cycles a custom bike assembler (admittedly with a stunning amount of eye candy lying around)

 

[Bikinfoolferlife]

Oh, come on, there's so much more

like:
Hunter Cycles, Rock Lobster Cycles, Kestrel, Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz area)
Specialized (Gilroy?)
Calfee Design (La Selva Beach not sure where that is but the zip code is nearby...)
Steelman (Redwood City)
Kelly Bike just moved from East Bay but still in Nor Cal (Nevada City?)
Phil Wood (San Jose)
Jericho (Berkeley?)
Castellano Designs (Berkeley?)
Bruce Gordon Bicycles (Petaluma)
Wheelsmith (Palo Alto)
mtbr.com (Los Gatos?)

Now, if we're gonna put bike shops like Wrench Science on here, the list is gonna be a lot longer...

I like this one alot! Very handsome bike...

Momo Velo in Berkeley.

[diiulio]

I never would have thought there were so many companies in this area! I was looking for more of manuf./fabricators, so they are all basically what I am looking for.
This list is great thanks alot, and keep 'em coming if you've got more.
Thanks.

Camelbak is in Petaluma. Not bike specific, but kinda....
