The 5th Spot

Published February 18, 2010

New Yorkers, can't make it to next week's (Feb. 26-28) North American Handmade Bike Show in Richmond, Virginia? No worries—the Museum of Arts and Design will satisfy some of your handmade cravings in May, opening an exhibition of 21 handmade, custom-designed bicycles by bike shop legends from around the country (and one, Dario Pegoretti, from Italy). The show, "Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle" (opens May 11), will be curated by Bespoke owner and bike collector Michael Maharam and Sacha White, the master bike builder from Vanilla Bicycles in Portland. Along with Pegoretti and White, the exhibition will feature bicycles by four other builders: Richard Sachs (pictured), Mike Flanigan, Jeff Jones and J. Peter Weigle.
