I was at NAHBS yesterday, a bit overwhelmed to take a lot of pics, but I'll post a few here. Overall impressions:

--28mm tires are the new 23mm tires. Except for a few time-trial or track bikes, almost everything had 28mm tires or wider, and that was regardless of frame materials (CF, alu, steel, ti, bamboo). The smooth-trade Panaracer Gravel Kings look really nice and were fitted on quite a few bikes.
--Really fat tire bikes are popular for builders to play around with.
--Disc brakes were ubiquitous.
--CF dominated when it came to frame materials. The skinnier, steel-built bikes really stood out because they were a tiny minority.
--Very few rando-type builds, other than those from Chapman, Weigle, Bilenky, and maybe one or two others.
--Many tandems here! I'd be surprised if the market was really that big.

My pics:

Some great paint on display. I really liked this one:


Chapman hand-built crankset with very drillium rings:


That same Chapman showing seat stay treatment and bottle generator (color is off here; first pic is closer to actual):


That wacky CF bike shown on the previous page; I told the builder that it looked like a Bowden Spaceliner, which he hadn't heard of. It's just the second of these that he's built, and I admire his creativity:




Chris Bishop, whose bikes were really stunning:
