Don’t Hate These Bikes Just Because They’re Beautiful: The Handmade Bike Show Begins

I don't care if people talk behind my back about my love of bike porn, or if they say I have a deep-seated frame fetish. I just love to ogle me some handmade bikes, and I'm proud of it.

I just got back from indulging my two-wheeled fantasies at the 4th annual North American Handmade Bike Show at the Oregon Convention Center, and it looks like the event will be a big success.

The local bike industry is well represented, but most of the exhibitors are out-of-towners. Today is media and industry only day, but the general public can get in tomorrow (Saturday), starting at 10am. You can get more details from the show website or here.

Here are some photo of the alluring models in all their shimmering glory, for those of you who can't make it this weekend.
