Tony Pereira hopes to continue his winning ways at the Handmade Bicycle Show. Last year, he took home a third place trophy in the Road Frame category.
This year, with a new shop location and more building experience under his belt, he hopes to keep the momentum rolling with another good showing in San Jose.
A few months ago, I spent the day in his shop and shared this report and photos.
Like the other three builders, Tony’s preparation is coming right down to the wire. Luckily for us he spent a few minutes to answer my questions…and he even sent me a few exclusive shots of his brand new, still unpainted show bikes.
