The Radavist

Ellis Cycles had a showstopper. Their Travis Rando was constantly swarmed with people. It was hands-down one of the most beautiful bicycles at the 2011 NAHBS.

Now that’s a pristine fillet! Kirk Frameworks had one killer booth at the 2011 NAHBS. While the “keep it raw so we can show off our skills” thing was overdone this year, the bikes at Kirk Frameworks were much appreciated.

So this is all I can show you at the moment unfortunately. When I got to see the MASH x Cinelli pursuit bars at the Cinelli booth, Mike Martin still hadn’t seen them. I had to wait until after Sunday to even post this teaser but I can say that these have improved considerably since I showed them to you at Interbike.

Expect these to tentatively drop around May!

Anderson Custom Bicycles was one of my favorite builders at the NAHBS. While stainless seems like too much of a luxury item for me, I could see myself one day riding one. The reason I liked Anderson’s bikes so much was the story behind this Reynolds 953 road bike.

Twin Six was one of the many cycling apparel companies at the 2011 NAHBS. While many other clothing companies presented with a serious face, the guys at Twin Six always seemed to be smirking. With their playful designs and bright colors, it was hard to shoot their booth because it was always crowded!

Before you get your hopes up, be warned: the Swiss Cross is back in production but it’s not for public consumption. While there are plans for a Taiwanese tig-welded version, these handmade bikes are for friends and family. Ritchey may be one of the biggest names in mountain bike history but one of his most cherished bikes of all time is the Swiss Cross. This was one of my favorite bikes at the 2011 NAHBS and Ritchey Bicycle Components had a killer booth!

Mickey from Spooky Bikes is quite the character. He used to be the shop grom for the company and raced on the team from 1995 until 2000 when the brand had to shut down. After Mickey went to college, he picked the brand back up in 2007 and has been pushing forward ever since. The highlights of the Spooky Bikes collection for the 2011 NAHBS were the 3-lb MTB and the complete SS MTB.

Ok. Step aside from the 29’r vs 26″ MTB debate and enter the 36″ world. Black Sheep Bikes had one of the most unique mountain bike collections.

I absolutely love White Industries. Between Profile, Paul, Chris King Thomson and them, the 2011 NAHBS had component-heavy eye candy. While everyone else had a few new innovations, the quick-release pedal system that White Industries developed was the most creative thing I saw.

For the 2011 NAHBS, Crumpton Cycles displayed their immaculate carbon fiber creations and this road bike was the center of attention.

Naked Bicycles and Design is filed under the show-stopper category. Year after year, their NAHBS bikes are pushing the envelope of conceptual bicycle design. This year, their completely-integrated bike this year was a neck-breaker.

Last night was the Fast Folks Four Points Rumble and trick comp. I showed up a bit late to the alleycat but just caught the start. Everyone from Cat2 roadies to Cat6 commuters showed up and the out of towners thought they had it in the bag.

Nate Meschke and Matt Cardinal are Signal Cycles and their Portland-based shop brought a mighty fine mix to the table.

Moots can never fail. Their titanium bicycles are coveted by riders of all ages and disciplines. This year at the 2011 NAHBS, they brought out their full artillery.

Today was one busy day! I’m hustling as hard as I can to bring you the most comprehensive coverage of the 2011 NAHBS and the only way to end a perfect day is with a bottle of 12-year Jameson. This bottle was in my Geekhouse Woodville all day for the show and at 5pm, we cracked it open. Actually, that’s a lie. I was sipping on it all day!

Expect a full photo set from both the Geekhouse booth and my Woodville touring bike soon. But for now, check out Geekhouse’s coverage of the 2011 NAHBS at their Flickr.

Established in 1978, Cielo Cycles‘ shop is inside the Chris King compound. While Chris King has always made quality products, Cielo’s work shined at the 2011 NAHBS. With all of their CNC parts machined in house at their Portland workshop, Cielo offers the complete package.

Independent Fabrications have a lot of changes on the horizon. They’re leaving Somerville, Massachusettes for New Hampshire and pushing their bicycle line even farther. Their bikes for the 2011 NAHBS were impressive to say the least.

COG Magazine has a great slideshow up from their coverage of the 2011 NAHBS. Be sure to check it out. You guys are so going to catch hell for posting that photo of Don Walker!
