‘A Framebuilder’s Goodbye to VeloCult’
1969 NE 42nd Avenue, Portland OR
Saturday August 18, 2018
Noon till 6 PM

Please join the Oregon Bicycle Constructors Association and Hopworks Urban Brewery as we present the final event at VeloCult before they wind down. There will be fun examples of local, national and international bicycle frame builders displaying one of their finest machines. We plan a low key opportunity meet and chat with builders, see examples of the craft of custom frame building showcasing a number of different styles. There will be builders showing traditional lugged steel construction techniques, fillet brazing and TIG welding, titanium welded construction and an aluminum builders to round out the current material offerings. Each builder is a master and would enjoy answering your questions about how they could craft your next dream bicycle. The current builder list includes:

Put this fun event on your calendar, come out and see what’s new, traditional and just plain well done in the frame construction world while enjoying a delicious Hopworks beer. We hope this will be a fitting send off for VeloCult as they focus on spreading their unique view on bicycle culture through their online endeavors. The OBCA is forever indebted to Sky and the VeloCult team for what they have brought to the Portland bicycle scene and the bicycle industry as a whole. VeloCult closing leaves a huge void in our community…you will be missed.

Vendors, consumers and sponsors,

The OBCA has put on the OHBS frame show for the past 10 years and we have enjoyed a good run with varying degree of participation from local, nation and international frame builders. 2018 has been the year we have seen the lowest level of interest in the OHBS, the number of builders who have chosen to sign up is so low the OBCA board feels we cannot put on a show we can be proud of, and allow the builders to present well.

It is with a heavy heart we have decided to cancel the show for 2018.

We are doing our best to listen to concerns of vendors from past years, take stock in the successes we have had and pull back to form a plan for the future. Our hope is to re-make the show with an eye toward the future and the goal creating events we can all be proud to take part in. Those who have paid for space at the 2018 OHBS will receive a full refund, we apologize for any hardship this cancellation may cause.

The OBCA will continue to further it’s mandate to promote handmade bicycles and those who build them. I want to personally thank all the folks who have supported the organization and our ventures over the past decade. We stand firm in our commitment to further the craft of handmade bicycle frames. Keep an eye out for future events, and thank you.

Dave Levy
President OBCA

And congratulations to Jeffrey Bock on winning the award at our 10th Annual show. With some 40 years of frame building under his belt there's no surprise that his bikes were the clear favorite. Just goes to show that it can be worth the drive out from Iowa for the show!
