No surprise the show has moved to Germany – the UK bike market is (probably) the worst in the world right now!

Sad to see it go but it needs to move with the times I guess.

@benpinnick There’s no handmade bike show in Europe, but lots of builders. And there’s a sort of maternity leave element to having it out in Dresden this year!

It’s not intended to be a ‘leaving the UK forever’ move.

The brazed show in Glasgow was small but very popular, there should be a midland & northern England one.

Having been to bespoked most years it’s lost it way from being about the building to becoming about the artisan.
