[Closed] Bespoke Bristol

going tomorrow, really looking forward to it, not sure about the round trip from North Yorkshire, but all in the aid of pretty bike stuff

In two minds about going...

Either another day in the saddle or another day in the car seat..

Hmmmm.

Lots & lots of bike porn, mostly road stuff & London urban designs, but worth it for me. But that's 15 mins on the bike. I wouldn't come from Yorkshire!

Going tomorrow, from Swansea.

Mr Shep has a very good reason to be travelling down from Yorkshire.

I wouldn't come from Yorkshire!

Paid for a bike that's there so desperate to see it. I also want a Paul Component T-Shirt

Going in the morning.

Missed last years, but the first one was fab, also more roadie/urban than MTB, but i enjoyed geeking out at some of the very very nice bikes on display.

......dreams of building my own bike....perhaps...one day... 🙂

I thought it was ace. Lots of lovely stuff - the Ash framed road bikes were beautiful and some of the retro stuff was interesting, like the case of Campag on the BLB stand. Beer was nice too...

My earlier comment was curmudgeonly.
I did really enjoy the show. There were several bike that I lusted after, & the attention to detail is wonderful.
Have a look at the Loop Wheels stand - that's really fascinating. They're suspension wheels, using carbon springs instead of spokes. Very neat! Only 20" for the moment, but I'd love to try them
STW ought to do an article on them.

Woodelo prob do the ash bikes, an mtb is apparently in the pipeline if their fb pics are to believed..
Not sure if it could cope with a suspension fork though!

Great evening last night. Loved the balance bikes by the Bicycle Academy (new 2 day course to build your own). Gutted that my 2 are too old for one.

Thought the show was so good I went back today .I need to save loads of money and get Eric from Winter bikes to build me a frame.This may mean a trip to Oregon

Really very inspiring to experience, even with a hangover...good to bump into you Edric!...

Cheers John

Thanks cliff and Paul, very generous swag, from cool engineering chaps.

Royce engineering shot glass or maybe candle stick holder.... I will check its watertight and decide.

15mm wrench and bottle opener from Paul.... Purple anodising flashback.
