North American Handnade Bike Show

Here are images from the North American Hand Made Bike Show. The first image is what I thiught was best in show. Cherubin from Japan. This ting was real nice, old school style but over the top with all of the chrome and bling. Speedwagon is part of Vanilla Bikes. This cross bike was too sweet to be getting it dirty. DeRosa Was there with a retro Primato.

The bike bulder for me was Palermo. He is from Baltimore and his steel luged frames run $1600. I asked him how he liked riding his own bikes and he told me that he likes the hills north and west of the city and builds his bikes for going up and down. The paint on this one reminded me of Matt's Franklyn.

When I saw the Zullo, at first I could not remember if it was Kevin that had one. They are still making nice frames.

Enjoy.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

HOW IT ALL BEGAN Reflections of R. Bradley (Dr. Spoke) on the early years of the MTCC* The week after completing one of the toughest TOSRV’s (Tour of the Scioto River Valley – Columbus, OH to Portsmouth, Oh – 110 miles Saturday & Sunday) on record, - cool temps and 35 mph headwinds both days, I was invited to the wedding reception of Barber Harper, my barber at the time. I eagerly attended, as in those days I was always looking for a party. As fate would have it, I met George, Dickey and John Fuller. I knew of Dickey from the neighborhood; South High standout and Buffalo Bills running back – he had street rep. As the evening progressed we talked about cycling and George shared his tale of woe with respect to riding TOSRV. He and John had a rough 1 st time ride to Portsmouth.
