Turns out it needs to be professionally photographed now that the bike won so Joey couldn't pick it up. I know I'm anxious to get my hands on the photos as well. Joy or I will post them up once we get some images. Pretty cool that a dedicated bikepacking rig won best in show!

And helluva job on the kit Andrew! Congrats go out to the whole group involved.
Can't wait to hear about all the details. That's the fun stuff.

Thanks Addy. I appreciate that especially when it comes from a fellow seamster. Once we get the bike back to the shop we will use this thread to point out some the of the finer points of the project on all ends. There are many little details and backstories that went in to the whole thing. I don't think our project was any better than many of the other amazing pieces of work that were at NAHBS this year. In fact I am humbled just to be a part of it. But we put a lot of effort into our portion of the project with Black Cat and we are proud of it. Joey and I both are the type of people who tend to put our heads down and work our asses off so to be a part of something like this is pretty incredible. Just to be recognized among our peers whom we have great respect for is really special. Enough of that, bike details to follow...

So awesome! can't wait!
It's apparent in your guys passion for your projects and collaborations. Watching the shop build unfold on insta was inspiring. Also getting to hang out in the old shop last year before the CTR... it's just a great positive environment exuding bikepacker passion to the fullest.
Again well done and can't wait to hear the nitty gritty details on all the finer points of the lead up and final build.

Hey Adam!

Just now seeing this thread - I've been in radio silence mode as of late.  As Andrew said, don't yet have the bike... but eagerly awaiting its arrival!  Once it shows up, I'll take some photos to share...

Awesome Joey! From the glimpses popping up here and there on the internets it looks incredible. Seeing it in person and seeing your guys new shop might be a good enough reason for me to get back down to CO in July to ride that 500 mile hiking trail across the state to Durango again!
