One of the bikes seen at the North American Handmade Bike Show this year had the name “Willy Tan” carefully labeled on the down tube. This small framed pink touring bike definitely caught my attention, and if fact was one of my favorites of the entire show. What caught my attention even more was that this bike was in the booth of the University of Iowa – the only academic institution at the show.…

Sunday essentials as seen at #NAHBS2016. Rookie frame builder Karen Massier built this step-through, Lady Karma, herself from upcycled tubes at the FrameBuilding 101 course in Vancouver, Canada. The University of Fraser has a two-week course for novices and the results are clearly excellent! Photo by @moveon2wheels, modeling & reporting by @vintagekelly. (at Sacramento, California)

Touring bikes at NAHBS

Touring bikes at NAHBS

I absolutely love the classic looks of a touring bike. Especially when punctuated by leather accents and accessories. I honestly am not sure what it is about the touring style that draws my attention so much (even though I can’t seem to get the stuff together to get my own touring bike project off the ground.) And the 2016 edition of the North American Handmade Bicycle Showprovided plenty of…

Our 15 lb Lolo was a hit at #nahbs2016! The new @envecomposites carbon hubs and rims make for a beautifully simple rear end as shot by @embrocycling. Excited to see this bike on the road this spring.

On Inspiration

I just waned to thank everyone that I had the chance to meet, talk to, oogle bikes with, and just experience NAHBS with this past weekend.  This community is such an amazing group of people, and it was wonderful getting to be more of a part of it.  Now I head home completely inspired from this amazing event...and who knows?  Maybe I will have a booth next year!

Fixed gear style, disc brake safety

Fixed gear style, disc brake safety

I sure wouldn’t have thought of it. But putting a disc  on the crank of a fixed gear bike is, for the most part, just as good as putting it on the back wheel. At least, that was the idea that SyCip Designs bikes had on display at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show.

While the astute among you will note that this setup will do nothing if your chain breaks, that is no different than the…

このバイクもこのバックを作る才能ももちろんすごいんだけど、結局これを創造してオーダーできる器量に惚れる。 女子がだぜ？と思ってしまうぼくの心を誰か癒してくれないかな。 #nahbs2016 #randijofab #huntercycles (Nahbs 2016)
