Just saw BeSpoked is going to Manchester in June ‘24

Always fancied it but never fancied Bristol or London for a day out

Hopefully I’ll be able to keep one of those days free to see it

I went a couple of times when it was at Bristol Temple Meads and it was great. At one point someone local who we used to ride with (read try and keep up with) who started building frames was exhibiting, which was a bonus.

Well worth an afternoon if you're into the details of bike building. Usually some interesting talks going on as well; I remember going to one about 3D titanium printed lugs.

I'm definitely gonna go..the venue is amazing and like you said..Down south is too much faff for me.

I also went to a Bristol one quite a few years ago and it was great. Really interesting and picked up some good freebie stickers too

Close enough for me to get there as well.

In!

I bought a bike on the back of the first Bristol show, it then went on display at the London show the following year.

I got chatting with Craig Calfee at Bespoked in Bristol a few years ago. He was talking about a cunning technique for drilling out branches of Douglas Fir which apparently has an even better strength to weight ratio than bamboo.

Bugga - that’s when we’re on holiday.
I’ve been to one before - loved it. I definitely came back more geeky
