Subject: [CR]NAHBS -- Vanilla Bicycles

In terms of metal work, color palette, aesthetic sense, flexibility, custom components, and humor, Sacha White of Vanilla Bicycles has an impressive mix. Nothing gaudy -- his work is beautiful, practical, harmonious, with a very refined attention to detail. His website has examples of commuter, road, track, touring, cross, and mountain bikes. His baby blue trike (as in for 3 year olds) with custom Phil rear wheels set at negative camber and shod with "race rubber", custom pedals, custom everything really, wood deck, mini Brooks saddle and bag, etc. was a crowd favorite.
