Bespoked 2022 confirmed at Lee Valley Velo Park
Bespoked Handmade Bike Show has a new home for 2022, taking place in London, at Lee Valley Velo Park, on 14-16th October 2022.
The show, which visited Harrogate in 2021, having previously called Bristol home, will be aiming to maximise the velodrome location, “giving Bespoked the opportunity to put on a great series of fun track events, whilst giving attendees access to some of the most beautiful bikes in the world.”
The announcement follows hot on the heels of news that charitable social enterprise GLL have become the new management partner to Lee Valley Velopark.
Focusing on the show, “framebuilders are being encouraged to build a track-legal frame and enter the fastest frame builder lap competition, (with) some surprise mini events planned – more details to be announced in the coming months. Attendees can look forward to a return of the prestigious Bespoked Awards, rideouts, and an unmissable top-class speaker schedule is in the works.”
With the change of location also come, “new design elements (whilst) the core values of Bespoked remain: a curated event that features the most creative, innovative and curious bikes available in modern framebuilding – whilst honouring its commitment to elevating framebuilders and helping the framebuilding community flourish.”
Phil and Tessa Taylor, who founded the show in 2010, have now handed the show over to Petor Georgallou, previously of Dear Susan Bicycles, and business partner Josh Bullock, who take over the running of Bespoked.
Petor, who has previously exhibited at the show for the last 7 years says, “Phil and Tessa have done an amazing job, building Bespoked from the ground up and cultivating a real community around framebuilding in the UK. We’re looking to build on their success, so that we can best represent the framebuilding community, trying to help it grow more diverse and inclusive. Ultimately we’re passionate about hand made bikes and the people who make them. Bespoked is a show by super-fans for super-fans and day-trippers.”
