The Hand Made Bicycle Show in Melbourne http://www.handmadebicycleshow.cc #hbsa2018 went off with a huge bang. It was a privilege to be part of something like this and to find myself showing off my work alongside some of the best builders in the country as well a a couple of people from OS. As well as current builders I met people with big historical links to the game. Leo Bates, from the Bates family in Coburg, The son of Eddie Bosomworth of Bosomworth bikes in NZ and another bloke who had worked for Frank Paino in Sydney ( I apologize for not remembering his name) all stopped by my booth for a chat. It was a great weekend of celebrating the handmade bicycle in Australia and meeting so many interested people
The first of the conversations about work materialized last night so I had better get on with it
Just a selection of the fantastic shots Andy took of one of my frames
