Hi All, I would normally have placed this in the "Events - South" category (hope I got that right), but it has a bit more than regional appeal, so it seemed better to post it here... Bespoked Bristol, the UK Handmade Bike Show, will be held Fri-Sun, 23rd-25th March this year at Brunel's Old Station, Bristol. I'm posting this early because there is a... Special Offer available until 29th Feb- Entry for 2 people on a single ticket priced £10 See: http://www.bespokedbristol.co.uk/Bespoked_Bristol_2012_Venue.htmlExpect to see a number of exhibitors including Brooks, Hope, Quoc Pham (leather cycling shoes), Reynolds, and Schwalbe. I'd be there if I could, but its a little far to travel. Demon Frameworks, Paulus Quiros, and Robin Mather will be on hand (I guess Robin is taking orders once again; his derailleur-equipped tourers are sometimes very Thorn-like). See: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=thorn+sherpa+review+cycling+plus&source=web&cd=21&ved=0CCAQFjAAOBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thorncycles.co.uk%2Fthornpdf%2FCP194SherpaReview.pdf&ei=A84yT5XwOeTKiQLclZGjCg&usg=AFQjCNHzaC6OQL6BAoXE06-vvtxXDO2Ufg&cad=rjahttp://travellingtwo.com/resources/our-steel-touring-bicycles-technical-specshttp://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/touring/product/review-robin-mather-cycles-mather-tourer-9994http://istanbultea.typepad.com/largefellaonabike/2005/05/fbq_robin_mathe.html <-- by one of our now-inactive members, I believe. http://www.headsetpress.co.uk/features/robin-mather-building-bikes-in-the-uk/http://www.robinmathercycles.co.uk/Best, Dan. |

A wee plug for a Scottish framebuilder who will be there ... http://www.shandcycles.com/2012/02/12/bespoked-bristol-handmade-bicycle-show/there is also a nice video from last year's show. Darragh, if you could get a pic of a built up 'Stoater' [maybe even with a Rohloff!] it would be much appreciated! P.S. Non Scots can put "Stoater" into Google for a definition of this fine word |

Darragh! Good on you! Really outstanding job with the photos; a lot like being there! Back to see more...there goes the afternoon's productivity... Nice, nice job! [EDIT: Back again. Darragh, you surely did well to get those shots, given the cramped quarters and milling crowds. What a pity (page 4) the carbon-lattice frame wasn't fitted with the CNC-milled lattice chainring! Opportunity missed! Oh, well, I have a feeling the two makers found each other before the show ended. A nice collaboration could be had from the meeting.] Best, Dan. |

Great pictures Darragh, and you got the Shand as requested! I'll need to revisit these pics but also spotted a modern take on this fine steed ...  |
