Hand-made Bike Show at Wissahickon Cyclocross Race

Posted: October 15th, 2008 by Karl Rosengarth

The Wissahickon Cyclocross race in Ludwig’s Corner, PA on October 19th is more than just stop #4 on the Mid-Atlantic Cyclocross circuit. The event will also showcase some fine, hand-made bicycles.

“The mini hand-made show will be showcasing builders that have had a presence in the cyclo-cross scene over the years of it becoming popular within the U.S. and east coast,” said Drew Guldalian, owner of race sponsor Wissahickon Cyclery in Philadelphia. “Currently, we have Engin Cycles, Richard Sachs, Bilenky Cycle Works, Ingleheart Custom Frames, Circle A Cycles, Independent Fabrication and Vicious Cycles already committed. And we’re working on some other big names as well.”

Wissahickon Cycles is once again bringing live music to his race, with the hard-rockin’ jam band “Murder House” on tap to perform. Speaking of “on tap,” the Victory Brewing beer tent will be pouring some of PA’s finest microbrew. According to race promoter Kelly Cline, “This year’s beer tent is larger than ever before. And Victory Brewing is setting us up with primes and prizes for various classes, as well as free samples in the tent.”
