All of these guys are amazing!

Bilenky is an interesting character and has built a wide variety of frames. At the 2015 NAHBS, he displayed this very interesting tandem....


No idea whether there is a story that explains why a stuffed/plush beaver(?) is in the front basket.

Peter Weigle has built and displayed some incredible bikes too. He has been known to drill out a lot of little parts to save some weight, and just to display the precise work that he is known for.


He's also known for reworking older bikes, especially Raleighs, into 650B rando bikes. This is an example that was displayed at the 2016 Classic Rendezvous gathering.
