Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show: Zoobomb and Dropout pictures

I went to the Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show today and had a fun time. There were all sorts of lovely, dream bikes and it was interesting to meet the builders. What I especially appreciated was that a place was made for the Zoobomb, the Dropout Bicycle Club, and their bikes. It was great to see how many people were asking questions and showing interest in Alt bikes, and I saw some of the builders come up to them and express how glad they were to see them there. Very cool.

So here are some pictures. I'm not a very good photographer and it also didn't help that the place was packed with people. I know there will be far better pictures on BikePortland in the next day or so, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy these.

Here is Capn ˇFUN!'s fixed gear tallbike. He notes riding it is pretty dicey at present because the chain slips when he skids the rear wheel to stop. The clipless pedals really made me laugh.
