In 43 days and 14 hours from the writing of this text, we might be attending the wildly profitable MADE Present in Portland. We’re stoked to see the magic that might be on show (final yr’s present was sick). Within the meantime, we will 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 intently 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 point out off their skills to an viewers that will hardly ever get to see them. MADE had over 50 exhibitors and over 1000 attendees, making it a giant success and shining the sunshine on the unbiased frame-building group down beneath.
Sadly, I didn’t have the chance to attend, however the MADE Crëw was sort sufficient to ship some pictures and model data so I might share a few of the magic with you guys.
I might be doing three, perhaps 4 gallery articles displaying bikes from these disciplines, Street, 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 might be easy with pictures and a hyperlink to the builder. Cool? Okay, let’s get began.
