Espoke The UK Handmade Bicycle Show 2013 !espoke"BRISTOL Show Guide 12th-14th April 2013 Brunel’s Old Station facebook.com/ukhandmadebicycleshow ww#.$espoke".c% Welcome to Bespoked Bristol - The UK Handmade Bicycle Show A celebration of the handmade bicycle industry. It’s a very exciting time for frame building at the moment. The depth of talent and level of enthusiasm is quite astonishing. The craftsmanship on display here is amongst the best in the world. The people who make these wonderful bicycles are the people you will meet and talk with at the show. They are the ones with the skills to tailor a bicycle to meet your requirements to make the bike of your dreams. We have asked some of these talented individuals to combine their skills to make a bicycle live at the show for one very lucky person. Watching a true master at work is a sight to behold and we hope that this event helps give insight into what makes the bicycles on display here such special machines. We would like to thank everyone who has attended and all those exhibiting for making this year’s show happen. Our thanks go to all who have contributed to the Live Frambuild. Thank you to Lindsay Gray for all her help and support with the organisation of the show and of us! Paul Golding (www.goldsealphotography.co.uk) for photographing all the exhibitor’s work.

Although existing for decades in much smaller numbers, the popularity and credibility of framebuilder entre- preneurship—custom, handmade bike frames—has increased Tsignificantly in the past 10 years.

The Framebuilders’ Collective TFC is a group of some of the most influential, powerful, and successful framebuilding individuals and companies in the in- dustry.

    Vol. 16, No. 4 Fall 2013 OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE FLORIDA BICYCLE ASSOCIATION, INC. Where My Ride Takes Me In an occasional feature for the FBA Messenger, “Where My Ride Takes Me” highlights FBA members and staff doing stuff you like to do on your bike. If you have a high quality, high resolu- tion photo you’d like to see published in full, living color (well anyway, the best we can do with our newsprint budget) send it to FBA Director Tim Bustos. Becky Afonso stopped for this shot of her new bicycle and the old St. Petersburg Pier. The bike is a Trek 520 with Shimano components. The pier, built in 1973, offi- cially closed this May to make ready for demolition and construction of a new structure, called “The Lens.” Initially, resi- dents were divided on whether the new design should be built but the vote on August 27 settled the issue with a 63% vote to cancel the contract. The vote came Please see Decisions, page 15 at the end of two years of petitions, law suits and other civic action. The future of the old—or new—pier is still uncertain. The pier is on the North Bay Trail, part of Bik the Pinellas Trail system.

  • Solitary Perfection One Rider’S Pursuit of Artisanal Purity
    SOLITARY PERFECTION One rider’s PURSUIT OF ARTISANAL PURITY BY GARY J. BOULANGER PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN VERNOR N AN UNSEASONABLY WARM AND SUN- ny Sunday afternoon last March, several of the world’s best bicycle-frame builders gathered in a crowded pizzeria in San Francisco’s SoMa district. Among the ranks were a veritable ‘who’s who’ of bicycle craftsmanship: Steve Potts, Bruce Gordon, Paul Sadoff (Rock Lobster), Brent Steelman, Jeremy Sycip and Steve Rex, lining the walls with some of the best two-wheeled eye candy under one roof. San Diego surf-jazz twins The Mattson 2 lit up the place with their unique sound as patrons milled around the piz- zeria with the esteemed builders, all enjoying wood-fired Neapolitan pizza made by New Jersey native Anthony Mangieri. This wiry, heavily tattooed proprietor of Una Piz- za Napoletana conceived this gathering—billed as ‘Ruota Libera 2011’—along with Soulcraft’s owner, Sean Walling. Mangieri, who speaks in whispering tones reminiscent of Alec Baldwin and has the hard-edged veneer of a skate- boarding, punk-rock bassist, opened this pizzeria at 11th and Howard, catty-corner to California Chopper and walk- ing distance from the DNA Lounge—a popular music venue that’s hosted the likes of Metallica, Prince and Green Day. Prick Mangieri’s finger on Monday and he’ll bleed chain lube. Prick his finger on Wednesday and he’ll bleed buffalo mozzarella cheese. For such a colorful character, his world is purely black and white. The 40-year-old moved his pizzeria from New York City’s East Village to San Francisco in September 2010.
