At the North American Handbuilt Bicycle Show, small scale builders get together to display their works of art. They push the envelope, not only visually, but also in use of structural materials, connections and finishes. One will also see new technology arriving in the world of cycling.
The annual event has been around for 15 years. Organizers change the location each year, to give everyone a chance to visit.
