The Oregon builders going to NAHBS staged a preview of their bikes in Portland at the Ace Hotel. They’ll have a block of booths at NAHBS, which is a good idea for regional builders.
More on the Flickr, and Bike Portland has nice daylight shots.

Looks like the Oregon Manifest winner. Nice bike, massive front box and a sound system.
Vendetta NAHBS bike, originally uploaded by BikeTinker.
I talked to Conor of Vendetta about cameras. He noticed the Biotar on the Nex (which really takes far superior images compared to the Nex lens). And also about the Vendetta* bike – lots of detail, cool chainguard, and the light mount is shaved to fit exactly where it goes.

Another pretty DiNucci. Curtis Odom hubs and cranks. Yow. The new highwater mark in pretty hubs.

Ira Ryan / Trucker trailer. Two perpendicular King headsets make the u-joint for the trailer. Pretty cool.

The Signal mixte was maybe the prettiest bike at the show.

Monster. The fenders are rubber (inner tube?) over a framework. Racks and cages for days. Flasks galore. Plexi rack tops.

Winter Bicycles’ matte stainless bike. Unusual seat cluster, and the stem has a light mount.
*I called Vendetta “Ventana” like 40 times – Vulture busted me on it. Thanks.
