This year, the North American Handmade Bike Show (NAHBS) headed to a city familiar to cyclocross fans. The 2018 edition was held in Hartford, CT over the weekend, and the craftmanship and creativity on display was impressive as always.
Bikes of all kinds were on display in Hartford, from tandems to cruisers to vintage-style rides. Mike Taylor of TEXmarket snapped some shots of many of the cyclocross, gravel and all-road bikes at the 2018 NAHBS, and during the next few days, we are going to provide galleries of some of the eye-candy from this year's show.
The winner of the Best Cyclocross Bike Award had to travel a decent distance for this year's show. Triton Bikes is based in Moscow, Russia, and this year, the company took home top honors for its titanium singlespeed bike.
