Bespoked Bristol 2017

@stedlocks have a nice weekend!

Pics of the red 953 reilly please ?

Missing it this year for the first time in ages...probably a good thing I just get drunk and chat shit...

The quality this year is higher than ever, way too much to list, but chatting with Craig Calfee was cool and the bikes just excellent.

3D printed Ti lug frame with carbon tubes

Demon framework was showing snippets of some very interesting projects on his instagram.
Anyone one got pics of this webbed beast?

I am trying and failing to upload a picture, tbh their stand is all about clothing this year.

Yep, getting "nginx request entity too large", so no pictures possible.

Thanks for trying. Try to compress picture.
I do this with whatsapp send picture to some one and they send it back..... bingo compressed.

Sounds good fella :0)

Cheers skulls :0)

Just woken up.... Condensation on my bag ( not a euphemism!) and a noisy fucking chicken crowing...

^Very clever

Oooooh that's nice!

The gusset one!

Chris king is there too. Lovely fellow.

Will upload photos later.

Almost forgot about Demon since I stopped Instagram. His work is just boner beautiful. One day...

Demon have made an incredible jacket too. Also got photos of that.

Ventile fabric. Amazing old school fabric. Classy design on and off the bike.

Wow

My photos will come tomorrow, my new laptop and old camera have zero means of talking to each other.

Highlights:

• Talbot Frameworks
  
• Hartley
  
• Rob English
  
• Demon
  
  

And also

• Chris King in person
  
  

Spoke ages with Chris about the virtues of ceramic bearings and whether real world usage showed that they are worth it. The result of which is he's saying probably not, but if you're going to pay for the wow factor then they went out of their way to at least prove a fractional improvement. Their key thing... Use very little grease, they're designed to be almost dry. In fact they were used in a RAAM totally dry to ensure that they're really good when dry in real world conditions.

Also, there's a lot of luggage porn down there.

Feather and donhou also usually have something very special in store too. Looking forward to seeing the photographs.
As much as I hate seeing uk so London centric selfishly I hope to see back at the Olympic velodrome.

I want to head to this tomorrow but with the extremely rare, clear, bight weather in South Wales is urging me to make hay and go riding instead.
