Friends,
I am envious that all you easterners will be closer to the North American Hand Made Bicycle Show (NAHMBS) coming to Richmond, Virginia in 45 days. Having attended the first few shows in San Jose, I can tell you that this show is a wonderful eye-candy and sensory overload for bike nuts such as we are.
If you can possibly get there, GO! (And if you can't go, visit them on the web and on Facebook....)
