NAHBS Aftermath

I was fortunate to meet so many enthusiastic and wonderful people over this past weekend. Thanks to everyone who took the time to stop by my booth to say hi. I was humbled and touched at the positive response to my work. One of the many highlights of my weekend was finally having the opportunity to meet Steve Potts. I had the good fortune to own a few Potts built frames which sadly no longer belong to me and at risk of sounding cliche, the ride was magical. Steve was more friendly, generous and helpful than I ever imagined him to be and it was great that he took the time not only to give a seminar on working with titanium, but to answer all my questions so patiently and willingly. Big thanks to Steve. Thanks to Don for putting all on, all the volunteers who helped out and everyone who came by to make it such a great show.

I got a little press on www.cyclingnews.com here and in the next few following pictures.

As always, Jonathan Maus of www.bikeportland.org has some excellent coverage. Check it out here, here, here, here and here.

Anyone looking for a fantastic steel frame should turn their heads towards any one of the following builders: Natalie of SweetPea, Aaron of Courage (winner of this years Best New Builder award), Matt and Nate of Signal. Not only will any of these builders build you a steel bike of your dreams, it's a pleasure to get to know each of them.

My apologies to everyone who has been trying to navigate my site since the article on BikePortland. I obviously have been ill prepared to deal with the extra traffic. I'll do my very best to add content to this site in the coming weeks as I finish up some builds. In the mean time, check out the Vertigo Cycles Flickr page.
