The North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) is a celebration of hand built bicycles and one of the highlights of the event is when the judges pick the best bikes on show. No easy task when there are 180 exhibitors. This year the award categories are broken down into three categories of Riding Discipline, Construction, and Overall Design. 

British frame builders have done well this year, with Donhou Bicycles landing the Best Cyclocross Bike award with the DSS3, while Enigma Bicycles picked up the coveted President’s Award with the Exemplar. 

Riding Discipline

Fully complete bikes, paint and component choices factor into the judging (aesthetic impact and correctness of the discipline)

Construction

Construction categories: All bikes presented for the construction categories (lugged, fillet brazed, TIG-welded and carbon layup) are presented as naked frames. To make the frames easier to inspect, they are presented with a fork, headset and stem. Painted bikes are deemed ineligible. 

Best Fillet Frame - David Kirk

David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.
