Philly Bike Expo…

The Philly Bike Show is a little over 2 months away. I guess it seems closer to me because some of the bikes I am working on now and in the coming months, I will be taking to the show. I enjoyed the show last year and am excited to hang out with other builders/friends I don’t get to see that often. Come out if you can make it.

I will be going to the D2R2 Event in Deerfield, MA, later this month as well. It will be my first time, but I hear it is a blast. I will be picking up another milling machine in VT while I am up there, so I can kill two birds with one stone on this trip.

Finally, I will also be dropping off a bike to Bill Strickland on my way up to D2R2. He contacted me earlier this year, and asked if I wanted to do a bike to be reviewed in Bicycling Magazine. Although, it was a lot of work to fit in, I definitely appreciated the chance to show what I can do. Thanks Bill and Bicycling for the opportunity. The bike is finished, and Tommy will be picking it up from paint (Fresh Frame) tomorrow. It really reflects my own aesthetic style and how I think a good steel bike should ride. I think Bill and whoever else will be test riding it from the magazine will really enjoy it. I did not post any pictures of the build on flickr, because I am kind of keeping it under wraps. However, I will most likely be bringing it to the Philly Bike Expo and will probably post pics of the bike all built up in the next few weeks.

More pics of Khalil’s bike, my first customer from Australia, will be up soon on flickr…
