Got more stuff to post, but for now, here’s the first batch of photos from the North American Handmade Bicycle Show - Enjoy and check back for updates…
Rarely do I give up a sunny clear weekend day’s ride, but I’ll be leaving in a little bit to pick up JimG, Carlos and alex w. for the drive down to the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Photos (and hopefully some video) will follow - most will go here, but some will probably end up on my Flickr pages. I have some T-shirts, so if you see someone wearing this image at the show, say “hidy” if you want one…
In the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous bottom bracket by JP Wiegle - 
which is part of the charity auction bike* to which a number of builders are contributing.
Oh, I’m getting all giddy! The show continues through tomorrow (Sunday 3/4), so if you have a chance to get down to the show, and haven’t done so, you’ve got a little more time.
*Drat, this link won’t get you there directly. Gad, I dislike websites which use frames…but, the deal is that the show organizer has 9 builders who are contributing their efforts to create a oneofakind bicycle which will be auctioned as a fundraiser to help benefit The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. You can click on “NAHBS News” using the main link or go directly here for one of the press releases.
Oh yeah - if you are in the general area, iBobs are gathering outside at 1 pm, and I’m going to start riding away from the Strauss statue on the south end of the Golden Gate bridge on Sunday at around 9 ish for an easy iBob ride up into southern Marin County.
