BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
The North American Handmade Bicycle Show – now in its thirteenth year – has announced sponsors, media partners, and international exhibitors for the 2017 edition.
NAHBS has partnerships with the Pro’s Closet, Professional Bicycle Mechanics Association and Bike Flights. The Pro’s Closet will feature a selection of bikes from their museum, which will spotlight a mix of iconic American made road and mountain bikes. Additionally, The Pro’s Closet Trade Up program has automatically enrolled all NAHBS builders, which allows consumers to trade in their used bicycle before the show, and receive a voucher to use towards a deposit on a new custom bike from any builder exhibiting in this year.
PBMA will be on hand exhibiting, as well as before and after to help builders assemble and break down their show bikes. NAHBS has also secured a local media partner with KRCL in Salt Lake, producing on-air content supporting builders, the show, and local sponsors. BikeFlights is the official logistics partner for the show, offering exhibitors streamlined shipping.
The show sponsors are Shimano, Enve , Campagnolo, HED, Columbus Bicycle Tubing, and Reynolds. The media partners are Bicycling Magazine, Road Bike Action, Bike Magazine, Dirt Rag, Bicycle Times and KRCL Radio.
The list of 175 exhibitors includes bike builders and suppliers from Japan, Korea, Italy, Germany, Singapore, Russia, the UK, Ireland, Canada, and, of America, the USA.
The show will be staged in the Salt Palace Convention Center, March 10–12th.
