From Mr. Joe Staples:
This February, the countries best hand built bike builders will come to Portland for the North American Hand Built Bike Show [NAHBBS].
A few of us here, thought it would be a travesty if all of these interesting people came to Portland and only saw their crappy hotels, the crappy convention centre and crappy Red Lobsters.
We wanted to try to help open up more of Portland to them at the same time, celebrating the rich local bike building and racing culture.
Sean Donnell and I, with the help of many others have been hanging out with riders and bike builders, photographing and filming and with a lot of help, have put together a website to sent to everyone who is coming for the show.
Then when the real show is on we are having and small exhibition here. It will have a local team bike, local team kits, etc etc.
We would love everyone to come and have a look. Portland culture is our culture. Let's celebrate it.
