Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle Exhibit.

I am passionate about art and design!!  When they are combined the results are amazing.  Bespoke was an exhibit that, unfortunately, just ended in the New York's Museum of Art and Design.

The exhibit featured the design of six well renowned bicycle builders.  The Bespoke Builder were:
Mike Flanigan, Alternative Needs Transportation (A.N.T.), Holliston, MA
Jeff Jones, Jeff Jones Custom Bicycles, Medford, OR
Dairo Pegoretti, Pegoretti Cicli, Caldonazzo, Italy
Richard Sachs, Richard Sachs Cycles, Warwick, MA
Peter Weigle, JP Weigle Cycles, Lyme, CT
Sacha White, Vanilla Bicycles, Portland, OR

Also, take a look at this brief slide show from Fast Company showing some of the bikes and bikes details that were part of the exhibit.

Something clever that the Museum is doing, throughout the summer you can come with your bike and pose in the MyBike photobooth.  Check out the gallery: mybikemadmuseum.org

What beautiful bikes! I just popped over to the Vanilla Bicycles site, and they are really ideal.
