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! […]
White Industries NAHBS 2016
Not sure how but I only ended up with two pics from the White Industries booth at NAHBS, cause it was huge and right in the middle of the show. They have a new version of their ultra cool crankset with a 30mm spindle (not pictured, sorry). But how about these cool pink and purple hubs?
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 […]
Paul Component Engineering NAHBS 2016
On Saturday I talked briefly to Paul of Paul Component Engineering. He has new stems! And the cranks are about the get an overhaul with a new 30mm spindle! More pics after the jump!

Greg LeMond Calfee Race Bike Circa 1991
Here’s one of my favorite bikes from the Campy book at NAHBS–Greg LeMond’s old Calfee race bike from the 1991 season, when he was with Team Z. Yeah, check out those Deltas.
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 […]
