You called it - you were right - when you worried that the convention center would not have enough bike parking! Saturday was sunny warm and the sidewalks packed and stacked with bikes (perhaps a 50% bike mode split to the event) . I am not sure why the event managers did not provide inside bike parking in Portland or like Interbike, Probike, and other events have done? Hi Ira,

I counted 27 cars/suvs/trucks in the Ditch on my 2 hour drive home from the shop. Tomorrow is my day off and I am busting out the 29er.

I agree – the frames that you show at NAHBS should be a good representation of what you build – not what you build just for the show. Your frames are strikingly beautiful because they are simple.

The biggest show of respect for a bike is to ride the shit out of it day and night. Wear a respirator with that hazmat suit? ;)
