It's all about extended seat tubes... Loving the bike stand though.
Black Cat bikes from Santa Cruz. Makers of some of the nicest dropouts...
A nice Black Cat take on the 'classic' singlespeed. (Since when were 29in wheels classic?)
Van Gough paintjob anyone?

 

Get yer qwalidee fixie wear here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A deliberately dirty bike? Or just 'cos it's been ridden? We hope the latter.

 

Swap the bars and this Caletti might make a good UCI legal 'crosser.

 

Bamboo. Yes, it's still around...

 

 

Paul Components. Making a living out of the niche for years. Great folks too.

 

Wiggley titanium tubes from Black Sheep

 

It was 'Edge' and now it's 'Enve' - makers of carbon everything!

 

A snowbike for delivering beer and pizzas? Yes please!

 

 

Ira Ryan with a brave colour choice that seems to work rather well.

 

Independent Fabrication. Winner of 'Best TIG Welding'

 

It's a Naked bike...

 

Check out the apparent lack of headset, seatpost or, in fact anything that's not purely 'bike'

 

Want to know who the judges chose as the best bikes, welders, paint and so on?

The answer is here at the official NAHBS website.

 

Mr. Chipps Chippendale

Singletrackworld's ex-Editor At Large

With 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps holds the record for the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Chipps stepped down as Editor in April 2026 after 25 years at the helm. He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.
