I am starting a bicycle company in the near future and have been shopping manufactures for the past several months which brought me to the Taiwan bike show. Its one of the biggest bike shows in the world with 2800 booths from all types of companies from saddle makers to major brands launching new products. All this takes place from Tuesday to Friday under one roof. I spent one day in meetings with multiple manufactures and another looking around. here are a few photos i took with my phone. Best deal i found was Grand Compe ss tires in all colors for $18 bucks each and a Reynolds double butted stainless steel frame for about $400.
this bikes top tube is a light on both ends
I rode this beast around inside the crowded show area. i haven rode anything other than fixed gear in months so using brakes while navigating the loads of people was a bit challenging.
these all wood rims were a highlight
People are crazy about folding bikes out here. half the people on bikes are on folding bikes in this city.
