In conjunction with the "Bespoke" handmade bicycle exhibition at New York City's Museum of Art and Design, East Village Bike Shop NYC VELO will also be hosting somewhat of a "launch party" for the show. Organized with the aid of Sasha White of Vanilla Bicycles, tomorrow evening's event will be more of a relaxed and inclusive gathering of greasy handed "bike people" and will be open to the public. Andrew, owner of NYC VELO, has attempted to gather a few bikes to display in his shop for the party which have been built by the builders whose work will be on display at the show uptown. He has yet to find a local owner of a Richard Sachs bike who might be willing to bring the bike down for tomorrow's party, from 8 to 10PM. If you happen to own a Richard Sachs and would be willing to bring it to the East Village to be drooled upon by the bike-hungry masses, please contact me off-list...Or better yet, contact Andrew at NYC VELO!
