Bespoked

Post by Wildcat »

Off to London Town tomorrow to get ourselves ready for the UK Handbuilt Bike Show // Bespoked. A pivotal moment in the history of a Wildcat Gear, as we have our own stand! :-SS

Car all packed with special display stands and a load of kit to display. Will post some photos once we're all set up. If you're going - or thinking of - pop over to Stand 44 and say hello :-bd

Couple of sneak-shots of our gear line-up at the show here: http://www.wildcatgear.co.uk/bespoked-u ... ycle-show/

A lot of people were still setting up when we left earlier this afternoon, but we'll post up some photos later on tomorrow.

Olly's DMO bikes were looking vaguely exciting too. Flatfishy's Element is finally finished now that the loop bars are wrapped in bar tape :-bd
KP's 29+ also looks vaguely exciting in a dark burnt-orange colour., and very purposeful looking too in a dedicated SS configuration :cool:

We had a bit of fortune yesterday. Originally sharing with Olly at DMO, someone in a space a few up the row failed to turn up. Olly blagged the spare space, so we quickly assembled the spare stand and put up our extra banner, and hey-presto, one full size Wildcat Stand :-bd

Also added some more photos to the Flickr set if anyone wants to pop back for another look: https://www.flickr.com/photos/15512491@ ... 815428375/

The pocket will allow me to carry even more stuff!

Colour wise one of the nicest was Keith's 'tomato soup' frame on the DMO Frameworks stand. A little bit different in a nice way.

A couple of 29+ frames about.

Do you have a red harness & lioness bag in stock, like the one you had on your stand?

What a great show, some of the bikes where truly droolworthy...
Had a look on your stand, seemed to be getting a lot of attention and good to see a lot of the bikes on other stands laden with bikepacking kit.
I was looking at the Lioness Pouch and was passing comment on the design when Beth pounced on us and asked for our feedback.
Great to see a company who are happy to discuss the design and what they are working on to resolve certain issues.
Beth was in full sales mode and has definitely sold a lioness when they appear on the website.
Keep up the great work!

Totally missed this post - sorry :oops:
As Ian said on the other thread, drop us a line via the website and we can sort out a large Mountain Lion for you.
