Bespoked Dresden 2026
Some impressions from the 2026 Bespoked Handmade Bicycle Show in Dresden.
Drust Cycles Cargo Bike
The Bespoked Show wrapped up a few weeks ago, life is back at normal and we're back in the workshop, so it’s time to share some details and beautiful pictures. We’ll be showing you some of the bags we made in close collaboration with several frame builders. Let's start with a colorful highlight.
Gramm Bags for the Drust Cargo Bike! Awarded in category “Best Cargo Bike”.
We went all out with a full suite of bags in the "signature candy pastel colours" we always pick for Konstantin's bikes, a stunning yet endlessly practical touring machine. The split frame rocks two Full Frame Bags, a "two-faced" Top Tube Bag, which split clean down the middle, one color left, one color right, for that bold symmetrical look, and a Mini Wedge Frame Bag up front to keep the tools close at hand underneath the front rack.
The bike is also featuring a wondrous front rack with detachable low-rider system, which is paired with matching tricolor Touring Panniers, each equipped with its own bottle holder, and the best part, the pannier lids are fully interchangeable, so you can swap them between colors whenever the mood strikes, mix, match, and make it yours!
Rasch Cycles Bike & Trailer Build
Next up - Rasch Cycles bike & trailer build!
Awarded in category “Best New Builder”.
Kata’s bike and trailer she built for her mom, a Berlin potter who rides around Berlin delivering her ceramics to markets and fairs at the weekends.
We got the chance to make a custom Triangle Frame Bag for the bike and giving her mom a handy spot to carry a 1.5L bottle of water or a thermos of tea in winter, while she’s out and about. Simple, practical, pink like the sparcels in the red paint of Kata’s bike paint!
We hope to find the time to stop by and pick up some more ceramic pots for our workshop!

We hope to be back again next year!
