Ron L. forwarded me some great photos of a custom Bilenky made for a friend of his. It will be one of the many jaw-droppingly beautiful bikes on display this coming weekend at the NAHBS - North American Handmade Bicycle Show - starting this Friday in San Jose.
Bilenky bikes always seem to have dynamic designs and color schemes, but what really caught me was the shape and style of the front basket and rack - I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it. Of course, then I get distracted by details like the silver bands around the headtube, the matching pinstripes on the hammered Honjos…. Oh, it’s gonna be bike-geek heaven this weekend…!
