4 years ago..

I had an idea for an event.

The idea has morped over time, changed by experience, interactions and more time.  Initially it was a 'HOT ROD show' concept switching 4 wheels for two.   Truth be told it would have been a lot like Pushies Galore, which I highly recommend you save the date for 2013.

Since the initial idea I have had the good fortune to interact with a number of local builders including Darrell McCulloch, Darren Baum, John Bosevski, Ken Evans, Ewen Gellie, Daryll Perkins, Bryan Hayes.

Other than the NAHBS having morphed, there is no simple solution around the  geographic isolation that comes with living in the 'lucky country'. 

I have naturally fostered the frame building scene because I love hand made bicycles to the point of mild obsession. Australia has a rich history of locally made marques and those who rode them, and above all nothing is cooler than a bike made for an individual with a true purpose. 

So, without further adieu.

It's only a landing page for now.  We are busy scultping the site ready for launch next week.

If you are a frame builder, or Australian business producing bespoke goods or services for cyclists and would like to take part, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event you can also contact us via the same electronic method.

Ride safe,
