man, this was a great event. I didn’t sell any bikes (really didnt expect to), but had alot of test-rides and interest in my booth. I gave out 100+ cards in the first hour alone, and sold out of my 20 hats, bags and mechanic shirts. It was packed with people and a beautiful day.

I saw this as seeing if i could hang with the Brooklyn/NYC bike elite in terms of concept, price-point and workmanship. There were a few hipster tables (complete with ironic PBR coolers and mustaches), and alot of old school roadie types. I was intimidated during the set-up, and actually almost packed it in. So glad I didnt…my booth was definitely the biggest attraction of the show…people are just drawn to colored bikes.
