Well, I do not swoon at over the top paint and add on, and certainly do not have racing saddles on any of my bikes. But my everyday bike is a custom from one of the builders at the show. As it is the bike I ride the most, I want it to be somewhat special. On Mar 1, 6:33 am, Steve Palincsar

Dinucci won best lugged bike, simple long point lugs, very well executed. Tom Kellog had an elegantly detailed rando bike, well thought out version of a decaleur integrated into the rack, with a locking q/r. Not every lugged bike was channeling Hetchins, I look on the bikes as masterpieces in

[RBW] Re: NAHBS - Observations - Longish Post

Agree with your thoughts Scott. There was plenty of good stuff there. Real good stuff. I understand why a show environment demands a glam factor well above the bar, and I was pleased to see some builders including some of the more grounded examples of their work in the mix. It was a little bunched

His city bike also won the people's choice award, or whatever they called the one that was voted by attendees. And it deserved the honor -- flamboyant, yes, but amazingly well designed and fabulously executed. I actually preferred his coupled 650B rando bike, but the city bike too was flawless.

[RBW] Re: NAHBS - Observations - Longish Post

It was my first NAHBS so maybe I was looking at it with different eyes. There were definitely some over the top bikes there and some racing bikes that did not interest me at all. But I got to see a lot of bikes that I have seen pictures of and heard described in BQ or on the web. ANT, Capricorn,

[RBW] Re: NAHBS - Observations - Longish Post

Actually, I think the judges agree that classic simplicity is best. After all, the Best of Show bike by Dave Wages really was a classic frame done in polished 953. At first glance it might have the appearance of Bling, but a closer look (which I had the pleasure to do first-hand) reveals a lot

[RBW] Re: NAHBS - Observations - Longish Post

I completely agree, simplicity and classic lines make a nice bike, hence my recent purchase from De Rosa in Italy I remember we discussed sizing a while back but did not know you went ahead and bought the De Rosa. Very nice. Very classic Italian look. Bet it rides like a dream. On Mar 1,

Joel, Thanks. I ended up getting a 54 cm (c-c) frame as the seat tube length and standover height are the same as my 56cm Rambouillet, which fits perfectly. Of course the Neo Primato's horizontal top tube and lack of significant headtube extension mean that the front end is quite a bit lower than

I attended the NAHBS in San Jose three years ago and had the exact same reaction. Give me simplicity and ridden-everyday beausage over technical cleverness and high polish any day. On Feb 28, 4:32 pm, Marty mgie...@mac.com wrote: Got to see what all the fuss was about on Saturday morning.

[RBW] Re: NAHBS - Observations - Longish Post

Well, I certainly share your taste in bikes. For the most part I prefer darker, somber colored bikes with classic silver components. But I have a hard time faulting the over the top designs at bike shows. The bike builders are business people. Assuming bike building is their day job, they

Re: [RBW] Re: NAHBS - Observations - Longish Post

I love looking at all the bikes at the shows. Although I get most of them confused by the end of the day though! But yeah, they are show bikes. Sort of like the concept cars they roll out at car shows to get attention and create a buzz. Also to highlight the builder's skill. (I love car

Interesting... Part of the logic of the San Diego custom show is to feature framebuilders of all experience levels. There was a lot of interesting stuff last year, including lowrider bikes fashioned by the kids. On Feb 28, 7:48 pm, Mike mjawn...@gmail.com wrote: Agreed. On Feb 28, 7:15 pm,

Jim, I agree in part. Taking the bike to your local bike shop to pack works well. They have the boxes, protective packing material ,and the experience to pack you bike and get it to your destination safely. They're going to do it right because they have a relationship with you. The
