This bike will be on display at the Philly Bike Expo this coming weekend not only because it is a good looking bike but because the bike’s owner is conveniently located in Philadelphia. A show bike is almost always defined as a bike that is not meant for riding, just ogling. The bikes at these shows should be beautiful but I’m always a bit happier when I can see that they’ve already been loved. Gary’s bike will not be an exception. He has had the bike for several months now and has kindly agreed to let me show it in his hometown. I built a custom stem and rack for this one. There is also an integrated pump and dynamo/lighting. Black components play well with the burnt orange paint. And there’s also a slight pearl coat on there to give it a little bit of flair. If you manage to come out to the show in Philly this weekend, stop by and say hi!
