Let's Celebrate 853!
Hey builders, are you showing at MADE this summer? Want to build an 853 bike? I've seen a few folks getting an early jump on their show builds, and it got me thinking...
This year is the 30th anniversary of Reynolds 853. We'll be at MADE, and have some fun projects in the works to celebrate that milestone. However, we'd love your participation as well. As such, if you've got a booth at MADE and would like to show an 853 bike, the tubeset is on us. Any frame tubes, any fork blades... if they're 853 and they're coming to Portland this summer, we'd love to gift them to you. We've got most of the 853 selection in-stock, but if we're missing anything it should be replenished soon enough.
In return, all we're asking for is for you to display a small (~4x6") placard on the stand/ground next to the bike. Super simple... a special 30th Anniversary 853 badge that Reynolds is working up. Just a nod back to our own booth, where Reynolds will be represented. If we get enough participants, we may even include the 853 bikes as a part of a scavenger hunt/activity at the show. Should be fun.
Reach out (info@firsthand.bike) and I'll share the details on how to order your tubes.
