A lot of things happening lately at the shop and in portland in general! Portland has been consumed by bike related events lately and a group of motivated people are making another one happen in october that is going to be amazing. Oregon Manifest is a national hand made bicycle show in conjunction with a huge cyclocross race and many other satellite events that is going to prove to be an extremely fun weekend from October 10th thru the 12th. Stay updated and get excited at oregonmanifest.com . In shop news, a ton of bikes have been flowing out lately and my sister has been an enormous help in redoing the layout of the shop. Definitely reaching new levels of productivity and organization! Keep up on the flickr site for regular build updates and completed builds too.

So, i just got back from a two week trip to berlin! It was a great break, and even better visit with some awesome friends. I will have a flickr page up soon with all the pics, as well as some new build photos! While in berlin i got to deliver one of the NAHBS show bikes to my friend Brendan, and got a ton of city bike inspiration. I also got to check out the Keirin Cycle Cafe and shop which was awesome. Mo and Gary do a great job there and you can really tell that they are a hub of berlin cycling culture.

What an awesome weekend! Exhausting, and awesome. I was tucked in an awesome part of the convention with Portland locals Natalie and Austin of
Sweetpea, and Aaron of
Courage right next door. Our zone got a ton of attention. The best part of the weekend was without doubt when my dad surprised me at the convention center!!! He lives in Indiana and I had no idea he was coming until he was walking up to me! Best dad ever award! He has been long over due for a visit and it couldn't have been more awesome to have him here. Next year he won't have to travel to the show though because it's going to be in my home town of Indianapolis!!
I met some really great people this weekend and got to know some builders i have looked up to for quiet a while. Doug Fattic even stopped by my shop! Search around the internet for all the photos of the weekend. Tons of eyecandy. Jonathan Maus at
BikePortland.org did a great job of covering the show.
Macaframa was in the house all weekend and it was nice to hang with them even if i didn't have time to go ride.
Also, a little shout out to the Super Champion shop in Vancouver, BC rad guys with a rad shop going on!

Lot's of awesome things have been happening over here since the Oregon Handmade Bike Show. People seemed really excited about what i'm doing and the orders have been rolling in. Seth Holton of Seattle, WA is the first member of the Hufnagel Cycling team and will be on his randoneer/cyclocross capable rig soon. I've known Seth for years and am really excited to have him as a part of this. Also i am proud to announce that i am now sponsoring the portland chapter of the Orgaic Athlete Cycling Team, as well as the infamous Macaframa crew. In shop news i want to thank Ryan Barret for coming on board with his superior mechanical skills as the bike assembler for Hufnagel Cycles now! Well that's alot for now, back to getting these bikes done for the NAHMBS!!
