Hilltop Bicycles, my LBS here in NJ, hosted a great event tonight featuring Ben Serotta. It was an evening in celebration of the bespoke bicycle, including a Serotta exhibit. The shop had 14 Serottas on display, all from local riders. Ben was interviewed by former editor-in-chief of Bicycling Magazine, Steve Madden.

My bike is the pink/blue fade Colorado LT. Ben brought two new bikes with him, his new handbuilt steel C17 ModoMio and his aluminum Duetti road bike (launching in a few weeks).

It was so awesome to meet Ben in person and speak with him about the state of the industry today and his new projects.

Here's some pictures below and the link to the album with a few more photos.

I got to play with the AModo Mio at Savile Road a month or so ago. It's REALLY nice. And stupid light. He was up in Vermont welding up frames which stunk cause I want to chat a bit.

Pretty cool you got to show off your bike.

The Modo Mio is so light! I couldn't believe it was steel when I picked it up.
