    2013 Hand Made Bicycle Show & Vintage Ride

    It's in Denver this year...

    I'll be there with a gaggle of bike geeks. Who else is attending and if so, which builders are on your must see list?

    Zip ties? Not on my bike!

    Want:
    650B rims 80's vintage 32 or 36
    Salsa or similar stem. 1" threadless. 120 with rise.

    Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for the ride? Looking forward to putting some faces together with screen names. Hope I have a bike worthy of riding with this crew.

    Cool! People nitpick all sorts of stuff online but when you're out for a ride, it's great because all everybody wants to see is a working vintage bike.

    Likely during the weekend as a lot of people will be traveling Friday. Any bike would be fine, really. Total crapshoot with the weather as I'm sure you know.

    I loved the Sacramento show last year and I'd love to make it out to Denver in 2013. We'll see.

    Depends on the location chosen for the ride. I don't have the legs or lungs to ride a coaster brake bike everywhere I can go with gears.

    Won't be able to make the ride, but driving up from NM for the show. Thinking of bringing some of the handmade top caps with gauging interest.

    Right now I believe there's dry trails, but in three weeks... who knows. Sunday works for me but we may have to plan this closer to the event.

    Doublecentury, Sgltrk, what say you locals?

    Is Friday or Saturday the preferred day to see the show as far as crowds and seeing stuff. I have inlaws in Loveland so I can see the show either day and ride the other.

    It's been dry and warm here, but we probably still need to stick to trails that don't have shady spots. Boulder Res, Teller Farms, Community Ditch...

    Dry weather and trails here around Fort Collins / Loveland right now, but who knows what we will be facing at show time. Since I'm farther north I'll have to defer to DC for trail conditions and trail choice.

    Any of the three days works for me to ride. Sounds like Sunday is the popular choice right now. Are you all thinking about a morning, mid-day, or afternoon ride? How big a ride should I train for? Geared or clunker? So many questions...
