  • Why did I miss NAHBS?

    Why did I miss NAHBS?

    Yeah…I know the answer. I had a scheduling conflict this year, but I still kept asking myself that question as pictures from the show started popping up on Twitter and Instagram over the weekend. I am really just starting to look at the coverage from NAHBS 2015 online, but I want to take a few…

  • The University of Iowa Hand Built Bicycle Program

    The University of Iowa Hand Built Bicycle Program

    I mentioned the University of Iowa’s Hand Built Bicycle Program earlier this year in a post about NAHBS 2014.  That was during my time away from this blog though, so it is likely that the majority of you never saw it. I noticed recently that the Iowa students are gearing up for something new at…

    NAHBS 2014 at JCT.design

    8/20/14: This was originally posted at JCT.design (my personal site) in March. You can find all of my NAHBS 2014 photos here. I had a really great time at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show this past weekend.  My son and I drove up to Charlotte on Saturday morning, and we spent the entire day looking at bikes, talking with…

    NAHBS 2013

    The North American Handmade Bicycle Show took place over the weekend, and there is no shortage of coverage around the web. As usual, Urban Velo has one of the best photo galleries from NAHBS, with nice side view profiles and detail shots of many of the bikes. There is also good show coverage at CyclingNews,…

  • NAHBS 2012

    After a long day of work in Shanghai, I am back in my hotel room anxiously looking through photos of bikes from the 2012 North American Handmade Bicycle Show, which took place in Sacramento this weekend. It was another record breaking year for the show with over 8,000 visitors in attendance, and it looks like…

  • 2011 NAHBS

    2011 NAHBS

    The 2011 North American Handmade Bicycle Show wrapped up in Austin on Sunday with the announcement of the award winners. There were many beautiful bikes chosen, but my personal favorite bike didn’t make the cut for an award. Shin-Ichi Konno’s Cherubim concept track bike (pictured here from UrbanVelo) may not have been the most practical…

  • Mode of Transformation

    Mode of Transformation

    It is no secret that I love books about bicycles. The latest one that I have added to my collection (thanks to Kim at Williams and House) is not commercially available though. Mode of Transformation, from Mohawk Paper, is a beautifully designed promotional sample book that was created to showcase the company’s highest grade of…

  • NAHBS follow up

    NAHBS follow up

    While I was messing around with the site transfer over the weekend, record crowds were attending the 2010 North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Based on the blog and Twitter activity throughout the show, it sounds like those in attendance had a great time. The NAHBS website has a new post with all of the “Best…

    2010 NAHBS is underway

    The 2010 Shimano North American Handmade Bicycle Show kicked off this morning in Richmond, VA. When I first heard the news that this year’s show would take place in Richmond (less than 400 miles away from me), I was pretty excited. Unfortunately though, I have a conflict this weekend and can’t make it to Richmond…

  • 2009 NAHBS links

    I have not yet found time to look through all the pictures from the North American Handmade Bike Show, but based on what I have seen so far, there is a lot of good coverage out there. The NAHBS website is a great place to start, with photo galleries broken down into a few different…

  • NAHBS, a Torker cargo bike, and more

    I mentioned a few interesting bikes at the last couple of North American Handmade Bicycle Shows. This year’s show, which opened today in Indianapolis, promises to be the biggest one yet. I really wish that I could make it to the show in person, but I will have to rely on internet coverage like most…

  • Wolfhound Singlespeed 29er

    I am busy today getting caught up at work so that I can take off for the Tour de Georgia tomorrow, but I do have time for a quick post. Robb sent me a link to a post on his blog about his experience riding a friend’s Wolfhound Cycles singlespeed 29er. The bike immediately caught…

  • Bamboo Composite frame at NAHBS

    I have not found the time to look at many photos from The North American Handmade Bicycle Show yet, but here is something that caught my eye at first glance. Longtime readers may remember my post about Brano Meres and his homemade carbon bike. Brano was at the show this year with a couple of…

  • Lots of Links

    A lot of great bike design content has popped up on the web in the week or so that I haven’t been posting. I won’t elaborate, but I want to quickly pass along a few of the interesting things that I have seen lately. First, of course, is The North American Handmade Bicycle Show, which…

  • A beautiful Crumpton at NAHBS

    You may remember my post about the ultra light (7 pound, 3 ounce) Crumpton fixed gear bike that was shown at Interbike. In response to that post, Lance Johnson of Group de Tete mentioned that they were working on a revised version of the bike. Well, this bike, which I spotted in a Frame Forum…
