The Herbie Helm relies on a short seat post, ending at the top tube. The internal cable routing for the rear calipers is what's sticking out of the back. In other words, you'd better want as much seat height as the frame already has.
I took about 75 photos, but it's too late right now.
nine14six, Amani576, sykerocker, tarwheel, Scooper, velo-orange (Tom), it was good to see you all. Nice to see Tange coming back to the US with tubing...Nice to see tons of stuff.

I don't think they were wood, but I didn't ask him. He was running a 1-man booth and pretty busy. I liked the simple scheme a lot.

Thanks Rob for all the photos. This makes me hate the weather even more for screwing up my travel plans.

Thanks for posting the pictures all!
This bike makes me want to walk through the streets, flagellating myself. I know that you have to bring shocking examples to turn heads ala the fashion industry but this is wrong in so many ways.
OK, this makes it better:
Save for the fact that the drivetrain costs more than is in my savings account currently

Specialized has been making "concept" bikes for many many years.
Wish I had a few of them.

Maybe the amount of pics do not represent the actual presence of them, but many of those massive curly lug frames would be perceived over the top and absolutely not marketable where I live me thinks.

Once I'm done drooling over the pics it'll be off to the basement to put some of that inspiration to good use.

Thoughts:
De Rosa got a lot of attention, as did Serotta. Based on some of the other bikes there, I'm not sure why, but the Primato sure was nice.
The number of small, clean, well-done simply lugged frames was nice to see. Are they worth 10x what a very clean 80's SLX, 531, 753, Prestige or Tange 1 is? debatable.
I heard an argument against clear coat from one maker, "if you ding the decals, you can't take them off and fix them." Not sure I agree with the point, but he had nice bikes.
A lot of paint jobs with the name block on the seat tube and down tube in a contrasting color, ala Raleigh in the mid-80's.
Clean and subtle seemed to be favored over gaudy, but gaudy was still there.
A lot of Ti. Really, a lot of Ti.
Almost everyone had a cross bike on display.
Some of the single speeds outside were pretty great, but there were not a lot of them displayed. Then again, a lot of the frames could go either way.
SRAM, SunRace/Sampson very evident. Big sponsor was Shimano, and people lined up to try out Di2.
Start-up costs for a frame enterprise were not nearly as high as I thought. Many discussions centered around out-of-work crafstmen available to make frames, many of them part-time.
Tubing reps all seemed a little tense, other than the Tange guys. Competition there is real and pretty intense. You could tell they were there for the frame builders.
Again, nice to see Tange back, and they had their $100 forks on display, which are very, very nice, as far as C&V goes.
Not for the faint of wallet, if you wanted to order a bike.
Picking some of them out now means 1-2 years before you see it.
Free beer was announced for 250 people at one time. There was no stampede, evidence of not a lot of C&V folks.
Lunch with C&V folks was simply some great conversation and good food, a great part of the day.
Young folk like steel quite a bit. I saw a Centurion fixie flash by, and almost all the tied up ponies were single speed steel.
The Cherubim by a Japanese maker was bike art, with very nice small-diameter tubing, especially on the fork. Some bikes weres definitely art, and that one was the most mechanically artistic.
Campagnolo not to be found, anywhere. May have had something to do with Shimano being the sponsor.
Few freebies. T-shirts were high if you wanted one that said anything recognizable about bikes.
It was a bargain, admission-wise, at $18-$20. Good venue, parking, access from major routes. There was a gamer competition going on, and also a wine show, but that cost $42, no cheap buzz.
Nice ride was organized at 4 pm by Richmond cyclists, a 14-mile tour with explanations, some small hills, cobblestones, and I'm sorry I didn't make the party at 7:00. Half the bikes on that ride were C&V.
