The Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show is this weekend. The event is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in what I think is one of Oregon’s most exciting and inspiring industries — bicycle building.

35 exhibitors from Oregon and beyond will bring their goods to Sandbox Studio (420 NE 9th Ave) for a show you will not want to miss.

Check the list of exhibitors:

In conjunction with the show, and to celebrate their one year anniversary, United Bicycle Institute (3961 N. Williams) is having an open house tomorrow (10/7) night. UBI is also offering free “Bike-by chain lube” service in partnership with Dumonde Tech. Yes, they’ll clean and lube your drive train just for stopping by.

As a bit of a teaser for this weekend’s show, check out my slideshow from last year’s event…

Paul and Jeremy just set up shop in the building I work out off on SE 17th. Their sewing machine has been going nonstop for fifteen days straight. Good looking bags, check em out.

Not sure what Sacha would get out of it. He’s not taking orders and he’s already well known here.

Other parts of the country…not so much.

I know a lot of cyclists in the midwest and east coast with custom bikes who have never heard of a Vanilla.

His booth was mobbed at the NAHBS in Richmond, though.
