In 43 days and 14 hours from the writing of this text, we shall be attending the wildly profitable MADE Present in Portland. We’re stoked to see the magic that shall be on show (final 12 months’s present was sick). Within the meantime, we are able to take a look at the bike magic that was on show on the first MADE Present that simply wrapped up in Melbourne, Australia. I used to be following it fairly carefully on Instagram, and it seems to be superb.
Having the MADE present in Australia enabled the unbiased body builders in that a part of the globe an opportunity to indicate off their skills to an viewers which will not often get to see them. MADE had over 50 exhibitors and over 1000 attendees, making it an enormous success and shining the sunshine on the unbiased frame-building group down underneath.
Sadly, I didn’t have the chance to attend, however the MADE Crëw was form sufficient to ship some photographs and model data so I might share a number of the magic with you guys.
I shall be doing three, possibly 4 gallery articles displaying bikes from these disciplines, Highway, Gravel, and Cargo. I assumed I might attempt to solely cowl the builders that weren’t lined in my protection of the Portland present, we’ll see. The articles shall be easy with photographs and a hyperlink to the builder. Cool? Okay, let’s get began.
