Part custom bike studio, part art gallery, California’s Above Category may be the ultimate dream bike destination. Founded over 17 years ago, Above Category is an unapologetic champion of handmade, individual products and timeless cycling culture.

Where and When?

The gathering will take place in the coastal town of Sausalito. And it’s only a stone’s throw from the Golden Gate Bridge.

The event will be in and around the AC studio. Some of the brands that will be in attendance are Sarto, Baum, Prova, Bastion, Pinarello, Mosaic, Scarab, English Cycles, No.22, Partington, Lightweight, Enve, Open, and more.

Speaking about the event, AC’s Co-Founder Chad Norwell said: “The AC Invitational has been a dream of ours for some time. We have some of the world’s finest riding on our doorstep and a unique, global collection of friends who build some of the most beautiful bikes in the world. How does it get any better than bringing the two together? If you love handmade bikes and the ethos and people behind them, then the AC Invitational is your chance to chat with the makers themselves and admire their newest and best creations in a welcoming, closed-road setting. And it’s even free to attend“.

During the show, visitors can take advantage of special event-only offers, and a raffle with the chance to win a custom-painted OPEN.

They build some really nice bikes. Those SF tech jobs have long days, and buying a sick bike is a nice way to treat yoself! – esp if you commute in! When I could still stomach road biking, I would commute from the East Bay through Sausalito (basically past this shop) and into SF via the golden gate bridge.
