Thankyou Bike Rumor! An article about Naked and NAHBS 2012

A very nice article written by Sophie Ballo for NAHBS 2012.  The countdown has begun….

A few weeks back we started a new blog on this website called, The Road to NAHBS.  The link for it is over on the menu bar to the left.  We’ve been updating it quite frequently.  Check it out!! In a nutshell, here’s the overview:

Naked Bicycles, The ROAD TO NAHBS,  is dedicated to our journey to NAHBS 2012. This year we are embarking on an unusual project.  We are RIDING our show bikes from N. California to NAHBS in Sacramento.  We really want to make a meal out of the prep and journey of getting to NAHBS.

In the days to come, we’ll be documenting about the bike designs and build, choice of trip equipment and clothing, the trip itself, the people we meet, the places we stay and finishing off on the last day of NAHBS.  We hope to show the amount of work and passion that goes into handbuilt bicycles, not simply the product.

The truth is, our bikes are built for very real and grand adventures.  We name our bikes “adventure” bikes because that is exactly how our customers use them.

And so begins our own adventure.  Hope you’ll tag along. The Road to NAHBS.      – Sam and Andrea
