BikeRadar was present at this year's Bespoked UK Handmade Bicycle Show. For those of you who aren't already aware of it, you can think of Bespoked as the UK's answer to the North American Handmade Bicycle Show.
We've previously steered you in the direction of five must-visit stands at the show - but if you weren't lucky enough to be able to visit then fear not, we've captured our pick of the most interesting bikes and kit on show right here in the form of a large image gallery.
