Went to the Rocky Mountain Bicycle Show in Denver last Sunday....oh....my....
It's sort of a local/regional version of the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, which now is on my "must do" list. I can't believe how many small craft builders are out there right now! Simply inspiring. If I had the cash to do another custom right now I'd be hard pressed to figure out how to decide. The great thing about this relatively small show is that you could just walk up and chat with these guys (yes, still a dearth of women) and hear about their bikes. Ride 'em, too, if you had enough guts and time.
"Best in Show" award went to the builder that blew me away, too. Renovo. Wood...bamboo and hardwoods....GORGEOUS....and light....and now my savings account has a new name. :rolleyes:
