Sam Whittingham from Naked Bicycles and Design (Quadra Island, BC, Canada) shows off this stunner! Sam’s hard work was well rewarded, as he swept the 3 biggest categories of this years Handmade Show (President’s Choice Award, People’s Choice Award, and Best of Show Award).

This custom build featured two holes placed interestingly within the frame itself, with one hole directly through the top tube, to allow secure locking of the bike. It also included an eccentric rear wheel dropout, wooden rims, wooden grips, and many other exceptional features. It was definitely one of the most unique bikes, at a show filled with unique bikes.

Congrats, Sam! It couldn’t have gone to a nicer guy!
