Pedalfest 2013

If you didn't make it out to Pedalfest in Oakland this weekend you missed out big time. Lot's of cool bikes and bike folks. Several local shops and builders were on hand showing of their wares and chatting with attendees. Shout outs to Sean from Soulcraft (thanks for the hat!), Steve Rex, Inglis Cycles, Bruce Gordon and Paul Comp. There was also an awesome exhibit of vintage bikes including an OG chrome Breezer.


I was super jealous of this original Peugeot PX-10.


Missing Link from Berkeley was there, with a nice selection of goodies.



Manifesto out of Oakland had some interesting bikes on hand, including this custom build equipped with Sturmey Archer drum brakes.


Loving the white wall Soma New Xpress tires!


This bike wasn't on display, but it was such a nice build I had to check it out. I was really impressed by the custom rack and Laplander tote bag. Thanks for letting me geek out on your bike!


This bike was equipped with a Bachetta 3 speed shift lever mounted to the seat stay. Maximum classiness.

Were you there? What was the coolest thing you saw? Do you think Soma should have a booth next year? Let us know in the comments.
