ATW Builds Showcase

3 comments by Igor Shteynbuk

A couple weekends back was the ATW Builds Bike Show at Union Brewery. It was a blast! It was the first show we've displayed at since the pandemic started, so it felt good to show off our new products, see friends, and meet some cool new people.

While this wasn't a traditional trade show like Philly Bike Expo or Interbike, this felt like more of a mutual appreciation and meetup of people who like track bikes, artisan craftsmanship, and fun builds. Not all of the bikes on display were from brands, per se, but many were from their owners or stewards. So some of the photos I took may or may not have captions or descriptions. I hope the detail photos speak for themselves.

Well, without further adoooo, let's check out some of my favorite bikes from the show!

Neil's ATW Gardin Track Bike

Neil is the creator of ATW (Against The Wind) and has an amazing collection of track bikes and related paraphernalia. This Gardin has an absolutely wild paint job and component spec to boot. Thanks for putting on an awesome show, Neil!

Chris Bishop bringing the FIRE with this track bike! This one has the tubing profile like those old Colnago Masterlights. I think it's called Gilco.

Undoubtedly, these bikes are beautiful showcases of what builders at the top of their craft can do. But some of my favorite bikes were those that YOU rode to the event. Let's do some #rackspotting.

    It’s given me some new perspectives for some of my own mods.

    That Mairosse is not my sort of build, but it’s truly handsome.
