Bike Lovers Contest

Who has the most beautiful bike in the whole country? Master bike builders from all over Europe present their handmade works of art. The audience is also the jury! Stop by and cast your vote for your favorite bike.
Custom frame building: Daily - not everyday
16. BIKE LOVERS CONTEST: BACK TO THE FUTURE

The past influences the new. Products that people coveted or marvelled at when they were young can later be the impetus for their own best efforts in thinking up and realizing new and innovative things. Some things are so far ahead of their time that they actually point to the future and influence future generations of products and solutions.

The Bike Lovers Contest is looking for answers. We expect bikes with a strong character, exclusive, brilliant craftsmanship, which reveal the character of the frame builder and the customer.


At the CYCLE WEEK, the finalists' bikes will be presented on Europaplatz and judged by a panel of experts. In addition, all visitors can inspect the works of art and vote for their favorite. The award ceremony will take place at the weekend, where the public and jury prizes will be presented.
