Shimano returns as top-line NAHBS sponsor

Louisville, Kentucky – Bicycle components maker Shimano, a long-time supporter of the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS), returns this year as the presenting sponsor. The correct title of the 2013 show is the North American Handmade Bicycle Show Presented by Shimano.

The 2013 show sponsorship provides Shimano with a high-profile showcase for its latest products, with a pronounced emphasis on its Alfine pavement component line.

NAHBS founder and president, Don Walker, said, "Shimano is an old friend. The company has been a strong and consistent supporter of the handmade frame builders over the decades, and when we started NAHBS nine years ago they were quick to step forward as sponsors. Shimano has innovated and developed new, better, bicycle components more than any other company in the modern history of cycling, so it only makes sense for them to align themselves through NAHBS with the industry's most accomplished and innovative frame engineers.

From BRAIN

DENVER, CO (BRAIN) — Six bike companies — perhaps to be joined soon by a few more — are co-habitating in a Denver building, creating a destination hotspot for area bikers.

The tenants at 7700 Cherry Creek South Drive include (in alphabetical order): Alchemy Bicycle Company/Ethic Industries (a high-end frame maker, recently relocated from Austin, Texas); Chroma Cafe (a coffee shop); Primal Wear (the cycling clothing brand); Shama Denver (a bike retail and fit business); The Pro's Closet (an eBay seller specializing in bike gear); and Tru Fit Training (a bike training studio).

"We have created a complete destination for both recreational and more serious cyclists and runners to have a place to call home in Denver," said Matt Simpson, president and managing partner of Alchemy Bicycle Company/Ethic Industries.

"We intentionally created this space along one of the major bike routes in and out of Denver. It offers space for coaching, training, professional bike fitting or just a place to meet friends over a cup of coffee."
