Philly Bike Expo Recap, Part 2

Welcome back to our exclusive coverage of the 2024 Philly Bike Expo! In Part 1, we delved into a thrilling array of bikes showcasing a delightful fusion of innovation and craftsmanship, all adorned with an abundance of VO products. But hey, we know variety is the spice of life, so in this eagerly anticipated second installment, we're taking a different route. Today, we're shining a light on some equally impressive rides that stand out on their own merits without VO bits. Because let's be real, our love for bikes knows no bounds, whether they're adorned with VO goodies or not. So saddle up and join us as we explore the eclectic world of cycling, because at the core, we're all just passionate bike nerds.

Memento Cycles

Bishop Bikes

Chris of Bishop Bikes should be nicknamed "The Mailman", because he always delivers. Neil from ATW Builds commissioned this one. It's wild, tight, and features some amazing paint details.

Haute Cycles

Befitting Bicycles

Royal H Cycles

We featured Bryan's work in part 1, but he also had this modern roadie on display with a cool story. His client had an old Medici that was battered and bruised after years of use. What started as a potential restoration, turned into a new bike when the fit of her original bike started to become an issue.

They decided to keep as many of the paint details from the original bike as an homage. It works really well!

And the People....

I walked around with my Camp Snap Camera to grab some vibes of the expo. I loved using this camera since it was so light, inconspicuous, and toylike. It was downright fun. See you next year!
