Brompton to Exhibit at NAHBS

Brompton will be exhibiting at the North American Handmade Bike Show 2010. Slightly different from the conventional bike show style, the NAHBS vision states: "the whole point of NAHBS is to raise standards for framebuilders and customers. What makes NAHBS special, and what keeps it fresh and interesting to the public is that it moves from one region to the next, year on year. Sometimes it stays for two years in a city or a region, but overall the plan is to move onto a fresh, excited market every year thus maintaining an atmosphere of electric enthusiasm among the consumers".

All Brompton frames are brazed by hand in the factory in West London. Many of the joins are highly technical and (particularly due to the folding nature of the bike) precision is of the upmost importance; as a consequence, it can take up to two years for a brazer to be competent on all aspects of Brompton frame building.

The show will take place from the 26th to 28th of February at the Greater Richmond Convention Centre in Richmond, Virginia, USA. For more information please visit the show's website.
