SAUSALITO, California (August 3, 2024) — Above Category, the renowned custom bike shop located in the cycling Mecca of Marin County, announced the ‘AC Invitational’, a street-fair-meets-MOMA celebration of cycling’s best builders and makers from four continents, taking place on August 31st from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Set amidst the seaside splendor of Sausalito, a stone’s throw from the Golden Gate Bridge in a closed-road setting in and around the AC studio, the AC Invitational is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and chat with the artisan-engineers behind brands such as 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 Nordwall 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.
