Portland NAHMB show booth 2008

Here is a long late shot of the Igleheart Booth in Portland. A great show. Talked myself horse & saw lots of old friends. Many great builders too. We had a couch from my sister's barn & trees for the bike display from a 60 year old camellia bush.
Next North American Hand Made Bicycle Show is in Indianapolis, Ind. The booth is #327 so come on by!

Guinness Brake Away City / XC

Here is the latest Brake Away City / Track build. Almost an all American build. Pauls hubs & Cross levers with the Retro Racer brakes. White industries cranks & single speed cog. Phil Wood BB axle King headset. Soma urban pursuit bars. Of course King Cage stainless bottle cages.The color of the foam on a pint of Guinness. Frame tubes are Columbus Life tubing with the stainless steel Salsa Ride & smile drop outs. It all goes into a Ritchey travel bag so no bike charge for flying.Less than 20 pounds.
