NAHBS: Vanilla Bicycles.

Vanilla has been working out its niche for

the past few years. The graphics have their

own style (which is completely on point)

and the bikes are not without their charm

and exquisite detail.

Having said that, I may be biased, because

integrated stem/handlebars "do it" for me.

NAHBS: Peacock Groove

The gentleman who owns/operates Peacock

Groove is a character to say the least, but he

has some pretty sweet ideas and makes some

pretty cute drop-outs.

NAHBS: Naked Bicycles.

Probably the cleanest bike of the show.

The bike was a 2-Speed kick-back with

a coaster brake. The attachment/fixtures

for the wheels and fork were hidden.

The overall shape and spec of the bike

left much to be desired, but the details

were beautiful.

NAHBS: Independent Fabrication.

Beautiful Detailing and a fairly successful

paint and graphic scheme.

Street Art: Austin.

Alfalfa.

'Til Death Do Us Part.

Down on the Street: Austin.

Austin has some really great cars with some

extremely enviable character.

I even saw a Yugo and I am not even making

that up.
