Multiple add ons: silver fenders, black rack on back, big grey basket, attachments for lights, bike computer, bottle holder, many stickers. This is honestly not the greatest bike, its not worth much if anything, doesnt look fancy, but it was mine. I use it to get to work & back every day, it was my primary form of transportation. It is by no means an inconspicous bike. Please contact with any info.

I caught up with many of the builders and have a lot of notes to share; but for now, sit back and watch the slideshow below. Check back later for an updated post with more details about the builders and their bikes… If you were there, leave a comment with your feedback about the show, your favorite bikes, etc…
