The 2016 Bespoked Bristol Handmade Bicycle show took place on the weekend of the 14th-17th of April. The show is a fantastic showcase of hand built bikes and offers an opportunity for builders to showcase their work and meet their clients. As a small business ourselves we were pleased to be able to help out a number of builders exhibiting at the show with wheels. Below is a selection of images taken at the show:

Had a 200km event consisting predominantly of gravel Forrest tracks been suggested a few years back many people would have laughed. I mean who would want to ride around gravel tracks on a mountain bike for 200km? The answer: not many!

Yet here were are lined up at 7am at the start line of the Dirty Reiver a 200km gravel race or ‘non-competitive challenge’ in the eyes of the law and relevant insurance companies due to the Uk’s restricting land access policies. Not only are more than 200 people lining up for this non-competitive challenge race, the vast majority of them are lined up on wholly inappropriate bikes!
