I’ll begin uploading photos from the North American Handmade Bicycle Show to my 2008 NAHBS set on Flickr in a couple of hours, hopefully.
In the meantime, I invite you to view the photos from my Flickr friends Yohei Morita, Walter B Grundle, Bike Hugger, and Jonathan.

This first is Calfee’s latest bamboo creation, in which he’s gone whole hog on the bullhorn theme. Not only are the handlebars real bullhorns, but the fork is also fashioned from horns. Hemp fibers and resin holds the whole thing together.
This custom titanium bicycle from Roark is a children’s bicycle! An internally geared hub inside the machined rear wheel with butterfly accents everywhere make this an extravagant gift for a special daughter.

Lynskey will also introduce this candy green with shamrocks beauty: their first ever STEEL bicycle. This 17.5 lb bike is fabricated from True Temper steel. The top and down tubes have been specially shaped to enhance some performance attributes, and Lynskey’s builders butte the heck out of the tubes to lighten them up.

Remember, I’ll be at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Portland this weekend. Look for me carrying this “Seven Cycles” messenger bag from Bailey Works and with the Zero Per Gallon patch on it.
Mention “Cyclelicious” and you just might earn yourself a Kryptonite New York Chain, a pair of Swrve Dynamic knickers (30″), or some “53 Mile Per Burrito” stickers (if I can find them!), along with a photo of you here on Cyclelicious.
Check out this lovely 650B bicycle from Yipsan Bicycles in Fort Collins, Colorado.

I’ll be in Portland this weekend at the Oregon Convention Center to report on the latest in handcrafted bike goodness. I’ve already spoken with a few of the builders who will be there and there should be some interesting goodies.
I haven’t quite figured out yet how I’ll do it, but I’ll have some goodies to give away: a Kryptonite New York 3.5′ chain lock (new – courtesy of Kryptonite), Swrve Dynamic pants (new, 30″ size), and various stickers. I’ll also bring a well used REI/Kenda 26″ studded MTB tire, because I have no use for said tire in California.
I’ll also have a handful of these goat free “53 miles per burrito” stickers from Zero Per Gallon to hand out. Comment here if you’ll be there and I’ll look for you.
I plan to mostly cover utility type bikes, but I’ll post plenty of fixed gear porn for you to lust over, as well as fun race worthy road and mountain bikes. Watch also for developments in the 29er world as well as 650B mountain bikes.
Look for me on Saturday and Sunday at the Oregon Convention Center. Consider subscribing to my Twitter feed if you want to find me and win stuff.
