North American Handmade Bicycle Show 2008
I attented the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Portland, Oregon as an exhibitor. By jet, 8300 miles from home, there I presented my new carbon C-Thru road bicycle, bamboo composite road frame, updated carbon mtb frame with a new carbon fork and a well-riden bamboo bike.
The show was excellent. There were many inspiring builders and bikes. The future of handmade bicycles looks assured, I for one was very glad to be a part of the show. For me it was a great success and the fulfillment of many years of work, I wouldn't have been able to make the same impression without the support of Bicycle Pro Shop in Washington, DC, Raceconcept and Racingbikes.
