Awards from the North American Handmade Bicycle Show by News Blurb posted on 1-16

There will be a detailed account of the first annual North American Handmade Bicycle Show in the February issue of The Racing Post, but it is worth saying that the show was a success in terms of exhibitors and public attendance.

Awards were given based upon votes tallied by the public and the exhibitors at the show. It was quite a site to see repsected builders showing appreciation for the craftmanship of their fellow builders.
