Lots of them have already been coated in our 32″ roundup (elements 1 and a couple of), or in particular person posts from the present.
However since that is the ultimate MADE roundup, we’ve included the remainder of the bikes that made us look twice.
Mosaic ASNo.9 Chrysalis Sequence
Mosaic appeared to have bikes in every single place on the present, and plenty of of them featured their newest within the Mosaic Artist Sequence end. Referred to as the ASNo.9 Chrysalis, it was on show in a number of colorways that made it appear to be something from marble to fireside.
Floor Up Pace Store
Eric Baar’s Floor Up Pace Store is all the time good for entertaining finishes, and as Abbey Software’s Jason Quade factors out, his spectacular work with titanium might be underrated within the trade. These ti bars with a large heart part appear to be they may be means too stiff, however they could truly be essentially the most compliant bars I felt on the present.
Bishop Observe Bike
Chris Bishop continues to make present stoppers in his personal means. This observe bike had a loopy layered end, plus brazed particulars wherever you appeared.
SAGE Titanium Harbinger
SAGE Titanium would possibly take the award for essentially the most advanced Cerakote finishes. Doing this camo end, full with meticulous blue pin striping round every part, took an unbelievable quantity of labor.
John Watson’s Vital Different Radavist Construct
You understand if John Watson of the Radavist is concerned, it’s going to be a fantastic, completely curated construct. That’s positively the case with this Vital Different full-suspension bike with a coloration palette that builds off the brand new White Industries Desert Sage restricted version assortment.

One other notable Vital Different was from our good friend Anna Schwinn. Holding the body, stem, bars, and seatpost the pure metallic colours, Anna went wild with a tie-dye anno end on the SRAM 1987 Transmission group, White Industries hubs & headset, and the edges. Add in a blue fork and some different colourful bits, and you’ve got an extremely enjoyable construct.
And now that I’m into birds, I couldn’t assist however discover whereas I used to be photographing Anna’s bike that there have been a bunch of Anna’s Hummingbirds within the bushes proper behind it. How cool is that?
Scarab Street Bike (not that Scarab Street Bike)
You may need already seen the Scarab Serena highway bike that gained a MADE Builder’s award. However that wasn’t the one notable highway bike that they had on the present. This bike beneath had a cool end that features precise ink transfers of hand-drawn particulars below the clear coat.

It additionally options one among our first appears on the new Ingrid drop bar shifters to go together with the Gran Turismo R group.
Unbelievable Ti Prova
Australian titanium delivered to us by brother and sister Mark and Kelly Hester, this Mostro Integrale not solely had an anodized fade that may cease you in your tracks, but in addition titanium particulars that needed to be seen. The fork is titanium as properly, should you’d want all metallic over any carbon.
Nikas
This Nikas additionally stopped me in my tracks. I like the daring coloration decisions and the wavy accent traces. To not point out the distinctive seat keep attachment level. Nikas bikes are made by Nick Zukauskas out of Fort Collins, CO.
Bridge
Typically the most effective end is not any end in any respect. Or at the least the absence of paint. Uncooked finishes on carbon frames are difficult as a result of it reveals each imperfection beneath. Some carbon frames require in depth hand ending and fillers to get a clean floor that’s typically nowhere close to fairly sufficient to depart uncovered. It’s no shock that this Bridge Surveyor appears gorgeous whereas bare, although – their in-house carbon course of out of Toronto is top-notch.
Scot Nicol’s Customized Ibis Ripley SL
Possibly you’re considering, “What’s Ibis doing on the MADE present?” Nicely, their new Ripley SL (in addition to the unique Exie USA) is handmade in California. Their manufacturing facility can also be 100% solar-powered, which makes it particularly rad and “sungrown.”
And whenever you’re Scot Nicol, you may get issues like a customized anodized coloration from Trade 9 to completely match the body coloration, and an extended fade from the hubs to the edges. I’ve been dying to get my palms on one among these bikes, and that is simply making it worse…
Ripley additionally had a enjoyable Ripley SL construct with parts from numerous manufacturers current at MADE, together with Madrone, White Industries, Astral, Wolf Tooth Elements, and Trade 9. Just like the Bridge, this one was uncooked, which requires a high-precision carbon end to tug off.
