I thought the show was great. I think there was a great deal more than 40 bikes there, easily more than a hundred. I loved looking at the exquisite craftmanship and original ideas that builders put into their show bikes. I would have to ride on five TOSRV's and look at 10,000 bikes to see 5 bikes that were as nice as the ones at the show. And forget about ever seeing a nice looking bike at the large bike chain store.
It's interesting that most of the NAHBS builders have their name on the frame in small letters usually in an understated way. They let the design and execution of the bike speak for them. A far cry from what the big name bike makers do plastering their name all over their frames/rims/handlebars/seats. Maybe it's because that's all they got going for them, a big name.

It looks like the cable pulls down the two cross pieces on the top, forcing the sides out, and clamping the pads. Kinda like a mechanical cantilever setup, I'd guess... And those are gorgeous lugs.

What a beauty!
I like the innovative placement of the pump, however, I would be very, very concerned about kicking it with my heel while riding. Of course, I do have really big feet, but so do many others. Nothing sucks more than having to stop while going up a hill to retrieve your pump, knowing it will fall off, again.
P.S. - Is that a hip flask in lieu of a water bottle. Encouraging people to consume alcohol before or during riding is not a good idea. It is funny, though, I will grant you that.

Mike,
No that's an AERODYNAMIC water bottle, an outgrowth of the old Campy Aerobottle,
soon to be all the rage with the Roadie set.

Well, it does have a regular bottle-cage on the seat-tube. Perhaps for the tonic-water?
I like those tires - look like Roll-y Pol-y's from Rivendell, or a similar model they have. I run those on my hybrid - great riders.

The flask holder is kinda a signature of his that garnered him a lot of cool PR. Not to be overthought.
