Title: Bike Shows?
Post by: matap on March 10, 2015, 08:36:42 AM

Any of you guys know of any bike shows locally around the Houston Area....even just outside of Houston?  Looking to enter a bike into some shows for the hell of it.

I'm wrapping up the paint now and just needs some lite electrical work completed and it's pretty much done.  I'll post more details once I'm finished and get some real nice pics.

 :bikerider: No competition, this one was built by hand.  Ultimately whether my bike is worth it or not I would like to show it at the 'Handbuilt' bike show that happens in Austin.  That is my aspiration.
