Today was the first day of activities for the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show. There was a well attended breaksfast in the morning, followed by a couple of seminars including the popular lug filing and lug cutting. A lot of enthusiasts interested in just what it takes to craft a bicycle by hand.

Mtbr and RoadBikeReview will have many more photos and video interviews in the next two days, as Friday is mainly a setup day. Here are some quick snapshots of the earlybirds. Lugged steel seems to be the theme of the show, so far.

I'm off to attend a BB30 seminar from FSA, followed by a builders dinner. I will post up more photos of Bruce Gordons bikes and vintage Masis when I get back in a couple of hours. Stay tuned.
