Back to back bike shows

March 13, 2007, 4:31 am

Two weekends ago I went to the North American Hand Made Bicycle Show (everyone just called it NAHBS) in San Jose. It was overwhelming and wonderful. I met many great people (builders and visitors — we had a nice lunch on Saturday with a lot of people from the Internet-BOB list).

I have hundreds of photos here:

This past weekend it was time for the Seattle Bike Expo. I wasn’t super excited about this one, but I did want to stop by and visit Jeff Lyon and see if any other builders showed up. Jeff and I had a nice conversation and also I ran into Val Kleitz (ex-owner of Bikesmith, my favorite bike shop), Kathleen from Free Range Cycles, and some other folks. Sadly I didn’t get to spend too much time at the show and I had to head back before getting to see all of it. Photos from the Expo are here:

Finally, I just need to plug this really nice new randonneuring bike that Jeff Lyon built:

68mm of fork offset, 650B, custom racks, nice fenderlines, a beautiful paint job by Keith Anderson, and a nice build. It really came together nicely.
