MADE Bike Show—an event spotlighting framebuilders and domestic production—returns to Zidell Yards in Portland, Oregon on August 23-25, 2024. MADE is for anyone who appreciates artisan and custom frames and bicycles made by hand. Bicycling’s Test Team will be at MADE to check out the bikes and document our favorites.
MADE Co-Founder Billy Sinkford is a lifelong lover of beautiful bikes. So it makes sense that Made showcases some of the world’s most stunning and impressive bikes.
MADE extended its floor plan for the 2024 show to allow room for new builders and more brands. MADE also announced partnerships and activations with BikeFlights, Campagnolo, Chris King, Enve, Shimano, and Yakima for the show including Elevator Coffee (provided by Shimano), cold treats (from Enve), and sparkling water (by Campagnolo). “The momentum with MADE continues to grow, and we’re absolutely honored by the support and excitement of builders, exhibitors and the fans who make it all happen,” said Sinkford.
The event features consumer days and industry-only dates for media meetings, content creation, and community building. The venue is again the Zidell Yards barge building, a 100,000+ square foot expansive open-air venue, in downtown Portland.
“We are thrilled MADE is becoming an annual event,” Sinkford told Bicycling in November 2023. “We are returning to Zidell Yards which is a perfect venue for the builder community. The bikes look fantastic against the industrial backdrop.”
The 2023 MADE show featured bike builders from across the world, including artists from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Namibia displaying their work.
