Calfee Design NAHBS 2016
Calfee had their bikes spread around the show. I already showed you the one they built for Lemond back in 1991. See the rest after the jump!
Argonaut Cycles NAHBS 2016
Argonaut Cycles brought home the NAHBS award for “best layup” (that’s a carbon term, BTW, not a basketball term). I don’t know a whole lot about carbon bikes but these seem quite elegant to me. See the disc version after the jump!
Montenegro Manufacturing NAHBS 2016
While going back through my pics from the show, I was trying to figure out who this was cause the logo on the downtube is not very clear. Luckily Bike Rumor published this excellent interview with Hernan Montenegro today so the mystery was solved. Hernan does these carbon frames in Los Angeles and you can […]
Low Bicycles NAHBS 2016
I lived in San Francisco for most of the 90s and left when things starting getting kinda crazy with the first dot com thing. Well things have gotten A LOT more crazy there since, so I was very happy to discover that a framebuilder was making a go of it in my old home town. The […]
Victoria Cycles NAHBS 2016
I’m not super happy with the way my pics came out from the Victoria Cycles booth but this black and tan (yes, beer) 650b mtb was one of my favorite bikes at the show. In fact, of all the bikes I saw at NAHBS, this is the one that most made me want to just get on and […]
Ritchey NAHBS 2016
Ritchey brought several California-built bikes to NAHBS this year, all sporting the $450 “heritage” paint option (done by Rick at D&D Cycles in San Lorenzo, California). Love this camo paint–like the 80s Ritchey Commando. Check out the snow camo and orange/yellow fade after the jump!
Della Santa NAHBS 2016
Legendary builder Della Santa brought out a few frames for NAHBS this year. Hard not to love Molteni orange and lugs! More pics after the jump!
Shamrock Cycles NAHBS 2016
And the purple award goes to Shamrock Cycles for this cool track bike!
Chris King NAHBS 2016
As you might expect, Chris King had one of the biggest and most prominent booths at the show, with their components, wheels and Cielo bikes. Lots more pics after the jump!
MTB Restorations NAHBS 2016
I had a late 80s/early 90s flashback in this booth. More old school Yetis, Ritcheys, Breezers and Fat Chances after the jump!
