The 2010 European Handmade Bicycle Exhibition brings together professional and non-professional builders of high quality, made-to-measure, custom bicycles and framesfrom all over Europe and beyond. The EHBE was the first show of its kind in Europe, withthe first gathering of this unique event held in 2009.

In much the same way as a tailor will measure the customer to produce a suit that fits exactly, it is possible to produce a bicycle that fits its rider precisely. This makes for a more comfortable, efficient and enjoyable bike, one the owner will enjoy riding and will want to cherish.

MTB, racing bikes, trekking, city and more exotic styles such as Singlespeed’s, 29er’s and recumbent bikes will all be on show. There will be bicycles produced from a wide variety of materials; aluminum, cro-mo steel, stainless steel, carbon and titanium.
The European Handmade Bicycle Exhibition will interest anyone who has ever ridden a bicycle! It will appeal to those considering the immense benefits of a handmade frame, those who already ride a handmade (or custom) bike; those who can appreciate fine handiwork and lovers of the art of the bicycle. The Exhibition provides the rare opportunity of not only seeing the work of different builders, but of meeting the masters of the art in person as well.

As in 2009, one of the most important points of the event is providing a platform for increased networking among European bicycle builders. By bringing together those involved in the craft of bicycle frame building - a small but important branch of the bicycle industry - we hope to create a broader public awareness of the handmade bicycle.
We will also be promoting the cause of bicycle culture. Not only for the important role of the bicycle in combating climate change, but also for physical and social benefits of cycling.
The purchase of a handmade frame strengthens and supports local workmanship and most of all, promises the customer the joy of owning a durable, unique and prestigious one-of-a-kind bicycle.
