That the explosion of bespoke road and light touring bikes
at handbuilt shows has caught the attention of the large bike companies comes

prompts from the well-attended shows. While show bikes are out of range for
most consumers, the Port Townsend brings the cohesive look of show bikes to a
more digestible $900 complete production build.
