Sendero built this bike around Surly's Endomorph tires. 4" of tire width give a nice form of dual suspension.
Herse was a revered French builder from the mid-Twentieth Century. Mark Nobilette now builds bikes for the reborn company, with a focus on "complete" bikes - designed for racks, fenders, lights, etc.
Calfee has partnered with the Earth Institute of Columbia University on a project to build bikes in Ghana. Yes, it works.
Calfee is primarily a builder of custom carbon fiber bikes. Here they have "branched" out to other materials.
Wooden rims comlpete the look.
Townsend shows a clean bike with just enough decoration to make it stand out.
A classic design, notable for the builder's logo.
Raised metal instead of a sticker for the builder's name. It is a bit hard to read, and very hard to paint around.
Brian is one of the premier bike painters in the world. For a bike almost too pretty ride, check out his art.
Bruce had an impressive display of his craftmanship. More wooden rims.
Velo Cult had just a few bike on display from thier large collection.
Maldoror Cycles, a local builder, showed some nice work with custom lugs.
Bohemian Bikes shows a perfect example of the builder's curse. You can build the most finely crafted bike, but all most people see is the paint job.
OK, look at the airbrush work.
Look at the fork detail, not the paint job.
Cycle Art does custom paint jobs. Oh how I wish I had taken the time to get better photos of this.
What's that? Veronica inspecting a tandem? Look for more details on this bike in another post.
Some builders decided not to hide their work under paint. Unfortunately, I forgot to get this builder's name.
