As you know, we’re in Richmond for the 2010 North American Handmade Bike Show. After spending most of the day figuring out a work-around for various photographic issues, I finally got down to the business of shooting bikes. Didn’t get as many bikes shot as I’d like, but here’s a sampling of mountain bikes from Igleheart, Engin, Banjo Bicycles, Shamrock Cycles, Peacock Groove. Caelifera, Rich Adams, and Signal. More to come tomorrow. Enjoy.
[Ed notes: Since this original post, Justin's added a day two gallery and day three gallery.]
