The 1st Australian Custom Bike Show 1st -2nd December

[Kumo Cycles]

Well, we are now one month away from the inaugural Australian Custom Bike Show in Melbourne.
Very exciting times for all involved in the Australian custom frame industry, so glad to have Andy and Melodie kickstart what I hope will become an Australian Fbuilding institution.

Hope to see many Aussie (and otherwise!) Salonistas coming down to see the work on display and having a chat with the builders!

Won't be able to make it down, unfortunately, got a fair bit of bike stuff happening in Sydney this weekend plus money is short for a trip down to Melbourne. Looking forward to plenty of pictures.

I had a busy weekend, but absolutely had to squeeze in a quick visit to the show.
I got there half an hour before the doors opened.

And I'm glad I made it - to meet and greet the great Australian effbuilders.
Like Joe Cosgrove with his Frezoni; what a beauty to greet the visitors!

There is a write up and some pics on cyclingnews.com too.

Not sure what Keith will make of his road bike being described as "unusual"... still, some pretty good exposure sandwiched between Darrell and Darren!

I don't remember saying anything about "fat lugs" funny stuff, maybe the heat was getting to me

It was an amazing show, great to meet the builders too. So many friendly and helpful individuals.

Highlight of the show for me has to be Darren Baum stopping in his tracks to compliment my road bike... I am not worthy!
