There are many unusual parts and bikes to marvel at at the trade fair
Bespoked means: there's lots of hot bike stuff to marvel at in a very small space. Custom bikes and accessories, bike nerds and artists. Do we recommend a visit? We definitely do.

From A for Avalanche Cycles to Z for Zyclism, a total of 151 exhibitors are registered, showing, among other things, handmade frames with lovingly selected components. But bikes are by no means the end of the story. Bespoked also features components, bags, clothing and more. Now to the important facts. Bespoked will once again take place at Dresden Airport this year. The fair starts on 10 October and is open to everyone from 4 pm. If you don't have any plans for the weekend, then Bespoked is our recommendation. Especially for all those who have a love of detail.

  • What: Bicycle fair for handmade, custom bikes + accessories
  • When: 10 to 12 October
  • Where? Dresden Airport, on the second floor of the main terminal building

Sandra Schuberth, sometimes an after-work ride, sometimes a training ride, sometimes an unsupported bikepacking challenge. The main thing is her and her gravel bike - away from the traffic. Seven Serpents, Badlands or Bright Midnight: she has finished challenging bikepacking races. Gravel and bikepacking are her favourite subjects, and her demands on equipment are high. What she rides, uses and recommends has to stand the test of time: not in marketing, but in real life.
