Roanoker Aaron Dykstra was awarded the “Rookie of the Year” prize at last weekend’s North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Richmond, Virginia.
Aaron, the owner of the Six-Eleven Bicycle Company, designed and hand built a beautiful Tuscan red and black track bike featuring design references to the famous 611 steam locomotive the Norfolk & Western railroad designed and built in Roanoke in the late 1940’s.
The NAHBS is the annual showcase for North America’s most highly regarded hand builders to display their best works for the public and the media. Over seven thousand spectators attended the three day show and 125 exhibitors showed everything from cycling apparel to five figure hand built bicycles.
