Mr. Sachs was at the 2009 one, with a nice display of his bikes and goods. The muddy cross bike made me happy.
I have to give Mr. Sachs credit for good business practices, at least in finding a niche where he could excel, and in good marketing. He's described building bikes in batches too, which is more efficient.
