We'll document it, perhaps with an article in Bicycle Quarterly, but the real documentation is in the books "The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles" and "The Competition Bicycle." Most of the bikes at the show are from the books. Others will be in upcoming books from Vintage Bicycle Press...

The exhibit is meant to be an opportunity to see the bikes up close in the metal, rather than only in photos.
