The bike of the show had to be the Steel Deluxe outfitted as a retro BMX cruiser. Who stitched the top tube pad covering?! Runner up in the same category was the Steel Crown Jewel fixie in Japanese kamikaze regalia. Upon my return home I can’t remember who had the lightest bike or tallest integrated seatpost, but I definitely can tell you who had the best machines – Independent Fabrication.
