Two Portland builders stood out among the country’s best bicycle craftsmen today at the awards ceremony at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS).
Aaron Hayes of Courage Cycles was voted “Best New Builder,” and Joseph Ahearne won “Best City Bike” for the second year in a row.
Aaron is a former product designer who started building frames just six months ago. When I visited his shop in Northeast Portland a few weeks ago he said he thought of his NAHBS debut as “a challenge”.

NAHBS founder Don Walker will take the fifth addition of his show to Indianapolis, Indiana next year.
He made the announcement at the end of today’s show saying, “I’m sure many of you are already aware of Indiana’s very rich cycling culture.”
Walker cited the classic bike movie, Breaking Away as proof of Indiana’s two-wheeled heritage.

Wish I had more time to share stories from last night and today, but the awards ceremony is starting soon and I’ve got to get back to the show.
Below is a slideshow of my photos from this morning. Highlights include Pegoretti’s magical paint jobs, bikes from Richard Sachs and Rene Herse, Craig Calfee’s bull-bike, and today’s gratuitous celebrity shot of Robin Williams checking out the work of John Slawta (Landshark).
Where will NAHBS end up in ’09?

In a few hours, North American Handmade Bicycle Show founder Don Walker will make the announcement of where next year’s show will take place.
Each year it is a closely held secret, but Walker has already already shared clues and has made it clear it won’t be in Portland, and rumors about NAHBS ’09 are swirling through the aisles.
Here are the clues Walker has shared:
