WNC Hosts first ever Crafted Southeast Bicycle & Gear Show, September 26-27 at Cane Creek Cycling Components
The Southeast deserves a show that celebrates cycling culture in its own backyard.
Across the region, builders and makers are creating and designing deeply personal work—frames, components, bags, and more – each piece a reflection of craft and conviction. Yet too often small independents are overshadowed by larger brands. CRAFTED puts them at the center.
This isn’t a trade show built around transactions. It’s a gathering built around people. A place where the story behind the bike matters as much as the bike itself—where you can meet the hands behind the work and experience the beauty of things made with intention.
Rooted in the Southeast, CRAFTED reflects the spirit of the region: welcoming, creative, independent, and quietly world-class. Every detail is considered. Every connection is real.
This is year one—and the beginning of something bigger. Our hope is simple: to build an annual home for cycling culture in the Southeast.
