The North American Handmade Bicycle moves to Sacramento, California next year. Woo hoo! (more…)
We can always count on Calfee presenting interesting show bikes at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, and this year is no exception. This year, they have a carbon fiber tallbike with bamboo lugs and a big carbon fiber kickstand that Jonathon of Bike Portland describes as “the most expensive kickstand in the world.”
NAHBS 2011 starts tomorrow in Austin Texas and runs through the weekend. Adam Bartlett will be there posting photos to Flickr and Wes Blaney may also be able to post dispatches over the weekend to Cyclelicious.
Other places to see good show coverage:
Jack and Adams Bicycle at Lamar and Barton Springs in Austin will provide in-hall valet parking for your bicycle at the 2011 North American Handmade Bicycle Show.
It has been a long day but wouldn’t trade it for the world. The NAHBS is an eye opener to what these true artists disguised as bike builders can do with traditional materials such as steel, aluminum, carbon and some not so traditional such as wood and bamboo. But before I get some shut eye, I leave you with a few of my favorite images of the day.
