Breadwinner Cycles NAHBS 2016
Breadwinner Cycles had one of the bigger displays at NAHBS this year. These babies are built with Columbus steel by Ira Ryan and Tony Pereira in Portland, Oregon. According to the website wait for a new custom frame is just 8 to 12 weeks. Not bad! Pretty cool little bike builder/configurator, too. Lots more pics after the […]

DiNucci Cycles NAHBS 2016
This was one of my favorite bikes at the show, built by Mark DiNucci of DiNucci Cycles. I’m just a big fan of road bikes with long reach road calipers and meaty tires. And of course the lug work and paint is fantastic. Also, that is a coolest way to mount a Silca pump. Two more pics after […]
Squid Bikes NAHBS 2016
This cool Squid Bikes cross bike was in the Gevenalle booth at NAHBS.
Matter Cycles NAHBS 2016
I have an older Santa Cruz Heckler and continue to be a fan simple, single pivot designs. The Heckler is also my only non-steel bike. So I was pretty stoked to see the TwoStroke by Matter Cycles–an all-steel single pivot long-travel 27.5er. This is owner/builder Collin Schaafsma’s personal working prototype, freshly painted for the show! […]
Rex Cycles NAHBS 2016
Steve Rex has been building frames in Sacramento for almost three decades. And he brought tons of cool bikes to the show. I especially like this celeste city bike he built for his wife. Lots more pics after the jump. And a note on photography–these were literally the first shots I took at the show, and my […]
Circa Cycles NAHBS 2016
Rich Fox founded Circa Cycles in Portland, Oregon three years ago. With a background in a design and engineering and a love for his old Alan road bike, he developed a manufacturing process he calls MABEL for “modular and bonded endless lugs,” utilizing CNC-milled aluminum components. His focus is keeping it affordable and made in the […]
Strong Frames NAHBS 2016
I first became aware of Carl Strong when Ibis moved in with him in the late 90s. Since then his Bozeman, Montana-based business has been through some ups and downs but has survived the test of time. Carl is now focused purely on custom steel and ti frames, building at a rate about one per […]
Inglis Cycles NAHBS 2016
This Inglis travel/gravel/whatever bike was one of my favorite bikes at the show. I just love those curved seat and chain stays! More pics after the jump!
Rob English NAHBS 2016
Well, I just got home from Sacramento, and after scanning through hundreds of pics I’d say that Rob English of Eugene, Oregon was clearly one of the standouts of the show. In particular, I loved his Graham Obree tribute bike, which was simply stunning. See more pics after the jump, and look for a lot more NAHBS […]
