The 2011 Philly Bike Expo subtitled its show as Artisans / Activists / Alternatives. Those three ideas were on full display during my Sunday visit. Custom builders, handmade accessories and local bike based activism filled the booths of the Philadelphia Armory.

Thanks for sharing the bike porn; that JP Weigle frame is the berries.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed. My pictures do it no justice.
ReplyDeleteThe Iglegeart Customs bike uses the same coupling method as Ritchey does on thier breakaway models.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - That's right. The frame maker (Igleart?)did say it was a Ritchey design. It was the first time I'd seen it.
