nahmbs

i am missing being at the NAHMBS. here is my fave guy from last year ( not surprisingly, he is nipponese ). he flat out rules:



he is not the most skilled builder, from a boutique-craftmanship level of lookin at things. maybe not the hippest guy - he looked earnestly bewildered and wanting desparately to be polite to everybody there. but his bikes were magic. steel bikes, filled with wonder and imagination and freshness. so so cool. so so utterly lacking in pretension ( hello seven and vanilla ), just love and vision and passion. dude's little booth was everything that is right with a handmade bike.
