Cirque

 

Located at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds (on the W&OD, just west of Leesburg).
A Number of North America's premier custom builders will be there, showing their best work and responding to your questions. This will include some of today's leaders, like Brian
Baylis, Steve Bilenky, Rene Herse/Mark Nobilette,, and Peter Weigle. Pl

 

They're coming from the West Coast, New England, and the heartland to show why so many sophisticated riders are choosing today's steel customs over popular manufacturers like Seven and Colnago.

The bike show is expected to include bikes from Europe, North America, and even Australia. Early examples with include a 1938 Schwinn
Paramount (US, first year made) fixed gear with wood rims, a 1953 Claud Butler tandem, and a 1953 Bianchi Campione del Mundo. Later works
will include bike from the likes of Hetchins, Holdsworth, Raleigh, Jack Taylor and Hurlow from England; Benotto, Bianchi, Cinelli, Colnago, Frejus, Legnano, Dr Rosa and Masi from Italy, and the incredibly elegant and well-integrated French touring bicycles of Herse, Rochet, and Singer. Plus, an extraordinary collection of earlier US icons like Bill Boston,
Drysdale, Eisentraut, Bruce Gordon, McLean, Merz, and Washington's own Proteus.

Indeed, June 7Th is the third and final day of North America's largest gathering of the "dyed-in-the-wool-jersey" vintage bike clan, a motley
crew of 20-somethings through geezers who relish the hand-built steel frames of the 1930s - early 1980s, a time when craftsmanship ruled, a
time before indexed shifting and clipless pedals. Friday and Saturday will feature seminars, rides, an auction, rides, a banquet, and some more riding.

 

This is the 11th "Cirque," and the first in the DC area. It's always marked by a great deal of convivial conversation with the fisherman's
dedication to truth and understatement.
