Naked Bicycles and Design

The result of many late hours

After the success of NAHBS earlier this year, I was approached by Shimano to build them a bike to show off their elegant City Group; Alfine. I was given a blank slate, as long as it was white! Here are the results of some late hours.

Sam and the Shimano bike

This bike is for sale or may be given as a prize in the spring.

Here is what Ben from Shimano had to report about the bike at the Montreal BTAC show:

“Your bike was a HUGE hit. I mean, WOW, that thing is awesome. The rack, the stem w/ integrated light, the branch motif. Everyone was very impressed. The brochures you gave us were gone in under 2 hours. There were people all over the show floor talking about your Bike. These pictures are a pretty good representation of the kind of crowd that was circling your bike for most of the 3 days.”

This Bike will be on display in Victoria at Fairfield Bicycles for the next few months: www.fairfieldbicycle.com
