Even if this technology will not work for the whole frame it may be usefull for difficult parts like fork crown. I'm looking forward for what will came out of this.

That crazy 40s/50s vintage style ebike is amazing! And with a Rohloff too! Wow!

I want to see more of this bike. What was the builder's name and what is his website?

Great to see so many women up there creating, designing and building.

That cast frame has unlimited possibilities. You could truly do just about anything. Man that would look sick pollished.

That integrated kryptonite lock in the seat tube @5:42 is a cool idea and very well executed. Thanks for the coverage Russ

Yeah it's so rad! Really fits that ex-bike messanger and urban rider aesthetic perfectly, while being incredibly functional. More bikes should come with integrated locks, Dutch bikes already do (different than a U-lock though)

There were so many great bikes represented with all sorts of materials and finishes. You really need to spend more than a few hours to really appreciate the effort the builders and vendors put forth and didn't have that trade show vibe. I'm looking forward to next year. Glad to have been able to meet and greet a few as I think I've found a builder.

Really love this episode. Celebrating the artists and their craft. Super interesting and inspiring. 🚴✨✨

20:10 That looks like the e-bike version of the Aerolithe. Stunning.

That vintage built electric 'Chrisworks' bike! Sir, you created a masterpiece. Chappeau! Mind you.... *everyone* here is amazing.

Big congrats for your masterful approach - letting the builders tell their story. Well done.

Concurred.

Spent a lot of time at the show talking to so many builders and such. I tended to gravitate to the more unique builders. Especially the 2 wooden frame builders. The one from the UK, TWMPA, was an exquisite work of art. Wooden bikes ride exceptionally well and are stronger than you think. Spent time at the Pinion gear/Gates belt drive booth. No derailleurs is very appealing for longer bike packing rides. Really liked the industrial venue. It gave it a feel of that garage inventiveness where a lot of these bikes started. FYI They might move it to September to avoid the forest fire smoke. Looking forward to next year. Cheers

Every bike you showed is beautiful. Thank you!

Awesome video. It warms my heart that there's small, independent creators doing this stuff. Kinda reminds me of the wild stuff in the mid 90s MTB scene.

insanely paradoxical that the usa is so car-centric yet has such rich bicycle culture. i guess we have the european version but i do wish the uk had something like this

As an American with 5 vehicles and twice as many bicycles I feel like it is perfectly reasonable to have both cultures. We got the space and we got the means, might not feel that way in bigger congested cities but thats just a small percentage of the country in terms of area, would be nice however if more people rode bikes...

This video was a real treat! I love bikes so much now as I ditched my car 7 years ago. My health as well as pocketbook have done well.

Danielle is killing it!

Love seeing the creativity and craftship of these designer/builders. Hope they get the financial support they need to keep doing the work they clearly love. Thanks for letting them talk, too

That Antique Replica "Chrisworks" with BOTH E-assist, AND Rohloff with belt drive, was TOO TOO SWEET!!! OH, MY!!! That entire one-piece pressure-molded metal bike was ALSO over the top!!!

Great video. Thanks so much for giving such solid interviews with each builder, where they can fully talk about the frames. Wonderful detail. Thank you.

Thanks for making- this is excellent ❤

oh, such a fantastic video. thank you so much!

Amazing creative Bike builders! Thanks for covering this event!

Sea Otter is cool, but THIS would be heaven for me. Thank you so much for this video!

Great coverage! Thank you Russ

@SurpriseMeJT

@@lilbtyt7928Yes, there are different pitch threads on the steerer at times, requiring a different thread pitch headset which is annoying and why I would go with a 1" threadless if going custom. Also, my opinion is on road bikes, not mountain. Kieth Bontrager defintely believed in 1" on all his bikes (steel).

That Chrisworks retro e-bike would be the only electric motorcycle I'd ever want, really spectacular! Can't seem to find anything online about him or this bike, would love to learn more.

I really like the shiny finishes, something I miss that was on bikes when I was a kid.

i went from; oh, to oh nice, to wow, to goodness me , back to wow, to dang, a whole roller coaster of amazing creations from joy makers.

I love the way Ira routes the cable of the front brake!!! So nice

Fabulous content, here. So much creativity and dedication from all involved. Would love to go to a show like this, one day. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Just learned about Schon's framebuilding class and they're located close to me. Very cool.

That's my build at 20:10. Thank you Russ and Laura for the feature! @christopherwerks

Beautiful bikes, new technologies and interesting new bike ideas.... Thanks for sharing.

Great to see women showing their creativity!🤙🏽

Great selection to focus on. Love to see some bikes covered in detail that I kind of overlooked.

Big ups to Onguza - love what they're doing. Talent is everywhere but opportunity is not.

Wow, there are so many bikes to fall in love with here! Thanks for interviewing everyone for us.

Lots of great bikes and content. Thanks russ

I really appreciate that girls custom black bike@5:16 so badass solid

20:11 that is WILD. Gorgeous work.

The vintage e bike has me drooling.

So fun to watch. Thnx PLP crew 💪

The cast frame was AMAZING.

The talent on display is next level. For professionals they all seem approachable.

Some many nice bikes and skilled builders. My grandfather was one of only a few frame builders in England in the 70s and 80s and he specialized in tandems in steel. He even exported to north America. Hed be so happy to see how custom frames have taken off now.

so many wow bikes in this batch, and all built for fun and enjoyment

The 3D printing is very cool, especially as sintering tech improves. But I'd LOVE to see more hydroformed steel and Ti. Anchor bikes (previously Bridgestone) made some beautiful steel frames (they still make one, the RCN-7) where the tubes were flared to make silver brazing easy, but didn't use separate lugs. They had the smoothness of fillet but the weight of TIG.

Fantastic show. Lots of really interesting bikes. I dream of owning a custom bike some day.

That fully integrated stem and fork was sick. I’ll take three

My sincere compliments to all the bike “artisans” that displayed their unique craftsmanship, although the bikes that stood out for me were the Onguza and especially the lugged-Wilde…

these bikes put into perspective how nice the top of the line Steel bikes from the 90s were.

Dang, life got in the way, but I had intended to go to this! Well, I'm glad you got a recording so I can still see some of the stuff that was there

The Simworks Doppo bike was my absolute favorite bike and is a dream bike of mine.

was really hoping to see king fabrications track bike on here! cool video still

"a little dark in here" is an understatement

My fav is the Onguza shirt with the cow!

My motorcycle lust is showing… that Chrisworks is beautiful

That Wilde Lugged frame is absolute gorgeous!

Love these custom bike build videos

Stellar bikes and Crust were cool. Everything else was more or less in the same fashionable gravel/road/urban category.

The Schön and Significant Other were absolutely nutty. Both dreams bikes. Would love a gnarly mini velo and this tracklo monster.

loving that watt frameworks bike, fun take on the hope lotus bike they didn’t have to consider brakes with it being a track bike

The Watts😍 More of this please!

This was really inspiring Ty

Sehr schön. I realy never would put an living room table made from plastic in my room and knowing how it was made, all the same how it 'looks'.

The 'one of' art bikes were my favorites and the track bike with the wide stays was very cool. Gravel, onesies and electric shift are fads - Long live the ATB and the front derailer!

the last bike is beyond cool. What they did alloy was moving art one of kind work

Yes I agree… I bought an entry level Jansno X50 e-bike… I rode my Trek 630 from 1995 through 2004, then upgraded to a fat tire mountain bike that I still own… unfortunately in 2020 and 23 days after I retired I was diagnosed with chronic heart disease, even though I never took a sick day in my 41 years at the same job. But I am not giving up and I do not need an e-bike to match my old crotch rocket days. My first mini bike in 1969 looked like the 1/50th scale bike on the right… so I guess my retro bias kicked in. But you do have a choice to make. Thank you for the video.

28:21 last bike seems from other world...casted frame.

These guys have some solid badass bikes 🚲 like works of art

I love that mini velos are back (as an owner of one)

Love the builders & bikes you chose to highlight. I'm also glad to see aluminum is being rediscovered & deployed more creatively, seemingly with better compliance than 20+ years ago!

Significant Other Bikes is AMAZING!

Wait, did I just hear 3D printed fork crown??!! Koudos to the builders still using a torch to build frames! Aluminum = new new

I think what I enjoy most about bikes is that you can do whatever you want, and no one really cares. Everyone is just glad people are having fun.

All beautiful bicycles... ❤

All of those are sweet. The Significant Other, Bender, Chrisworks, Breadwinner, and Onguza really stood out. But they were all spectacular. Best value probably the Wilde?

Very impressed with Rizzo and Heavy bikes

The Heavy Bikes one was cool.

Thank you. LOVE custom.

There you go, I told you the next big thing is going to be mini velos. I've ordered my frame and am planning a trick build. Ultraromance using bricks to prop his bikes is so Ultraromance.

😮 Beautiful, really enjoyed this episode, the creativity. A very important cultural collection of working art. Would love to see links to some of those makers! And tell us how you enjoyed it at the end. 😊

Those bikes look awesome! Changing a tire though might be a challenge...

I normally don't comment on this stuff, but although real groovy and clever, there is a lot of impracticality going on with most of these bikes.
