Provenance, Provenance, Provenance
Whilst major bike-builders continue to quietly pack up shop in the communities and places that made them great; outsourcing their manufacturing, control, IP, distinctiveness and points-of-difference, to remote factories, on anonymous industrial estates in The Far East. The North American Handmade Bicycle Show or NAHBS, honours and represents, the dedicated and talented artisans, determined to plough their perfectionist furrow in places, and with people, they love and respect. These people, places and their bicycles are Cyclefit's roots and heritage. And it makes our hearts sing when our great friends at Seven are recognised by the industry for their leadership in bespoke bicycle fabrication and design. To win one prestigious NAHBS award could be considered lucky. To win two is destiny.
