Thanks to the work of a small event management company called Miles Ahead here in Boulder, the CU Cycling Team, and Groupe de Tete (the presenting sponsor) this year will be the First Annual Rocky Mountain Bicycle Show. With a couple dozen phone calls placed, it looks like we should have a great turnout from the industry, which should certainly draw the crowds along Colorado's bike-crazed Front Range.The Show is May 17th and 18th (Saturday and Sunday) and the focus is on small Colorado-based companies. With the success of NAHBS and the Oregon Only show this year, it seems that the custom-builder market is only picking up more and more steam.
One difference of the RMBS (we just call it "rims") is that the focus will not be largely on lugged steel bikes. With the range and quality of high-tech builders in Colorado (particularly Titanium), the goal has been to ditch the "retro rules" dogma and make the show about great bicycles of all sorts. (Heck, I think there's even a recumbent builder coming....)
We certainly hope that the show is a success, and will keep everyone updated as this thing gets closer. In the mean time, check out their website at www.rockymountainbicycleshow.com
