Organisers of Bespoked, the UK’s only handmade bicycle show, have revealed the complete exhibitor list for the show on 17-19 April. Regulars like Saffron Frameworks, Field Cycles, Donhou and Sven will return, and be joined for the first time this year by Keim and Ti Bikes from Portland.
We reported earlier this year about the show returning to its Bristol roots, after last year’s excursion to London’s Lee Valley VeloPark. This year the show takes place across two venues – Brunel’s Old Station will play host to framebuilders, some new, some returning, while the Arnolfini arts centre on the waterfront will host two new events.
Alongside some of the nicest bikes and accessories you’ll see under the same roof anywhere in the world, there’ll also be a Bespoked Constructors’ Challenge, with teams of builders creating custom bikes for specific real-world tasks, the Bespoked Handmade Cycling Goods and Design Show, and a retrospective exhibition of pictures by photographer Camille McMillan.
So lots to see then. Tickets and all the details about how to get to the show are here www.bespoked.cc/venuetickets.html

Why oh why do people ruin lovely fine steel frames with clunky carbon front forks? I see it over and over on here.
What they need is a nice pair of curved forks, just as comfy if not more and look the part. I'll even accept straight forks Precisa-style, but keep it all steel, please.
That and bloody awful chunky Shimano chainsets
Time off work sorted for this, just need to buy an entrance ticket which will have to wait till next week and payday.
More information on the tricycle please! The UK seems to have a nearly unique culture of racing tricycles.
Seconded! Do a follow-up article on this kind of thing. A Longstaff trike with disc brakes? Mouth-watering.
On a related note, do all those late 1980s trike mentalists like Zonc Hastings still exist? Did I imagine them?
That trike appears to have a disc brake on one rear wheel and no brake on the other. Would have thought that would have some nasty handling characteristics?!
edit: hmm actually, on reflection I imagine there must be no differential, so only one brake needed. I imagine tight corners are interesting then?

Great brand name! ; )
That all in one handlebar and stem look great, except for the stem bolt, which looks like a cheap afterthought and ruins the whole flowing look of the thing.
I still have those Delta brakes. Does everything great...except stopping.
