I had the pleasure of attending the North American Handmade Bicycle Show.

There I saw bikes like these pretty pink ones by Ellsworth,

and this sweet lady's one by Ruegamer

and this one comprised of horns, twigs and other natural resources by Calfee

There were also bikes like the beautiful one by Lynskey Customs

Look! The wheels match!

And of course there were some beautifully lugged Waterfords.

And there were some awesome Deda bars.

But where did the Deda people go?

Sram had robots made of components.

And Roark Titanium Customs had gorgeous titanium bicycles.

Roark also had this.

Note the detail; little mesh butterflies on the frame,

Butterfly cutout wheels,

And of course, purple sparkly logo.

Then there were the cheese graders. This is the mountain version, and apparently mud does not get lodged in the gaps, the only time when it would is when the mud is thicker than the gaps, in which case, it is said that you would only be weighed down as much as you would be on a normal mountain bike.

And BME made the road version.

The architecture was apparently inspired by that of a bridge.

BME also had one of several versions of the bamboo bicycle.

And then, there was this.

The chain ring isn't even visible from the other side.

With exception of the handle bars, the widest point on this bike is 8mm.

Not to mention the awesome paint job...

If you were unfortunate enough to miss the chance to go,
you really missed out.
