  • BUILDER SPOTLIGHT: @scarabcycles | Colombia thrives with impressive and colorful landscapes and towns, flavorful tropical fruits and joyful rhythms of music. Its people are faithful to traditions, memories of childhood and a spirit of perseverance, entrepreneurship and liveliness. All these are evident in the cycling culture that shines all over the country. Born in the Andes, Scarab builds custom bikes with a Colombian soul to match, as if it were an extension, to the cyclist that will own it. We’re thrilled that Scarab will be at MADE👏🇨🇴🎉

  • BUILDER SPOTLIGHT: @bantambicycles | Based in Portland, OR, Bantam Bicycle Works has 19 years of framebuilding experience, fabricating well-crafted steel bicycle framesets of every type imaginable. 

"Our bicycles aren’t going to make you faster, go further, or guarantee you a spot on the podium… That’s up to you and your legs. But a Bantam bicycle will make it more fun. We aim to bring back the joy and magic of riding a bike. Isn’t that what it’s all about?" - Bob Kamzelski, framebuilder and owner @bantambicycles 👏🔥👏

  • BUILDER SPOTLIGHT: @simplebicycleco is the trusted behind-the-scenes partner for several of the most respected names in cycling. Building performance-oriented titanium, steel, and aluminum frames for road, gravel and mountain biking, Simple builds some of the most sought-after designs in the business without featuring their own branding. In addition to building frames, they produce their own line of framebuilding tools, including the original Arctos® frame fixture, used by bicycle framebuilders around the globe. 👏🎉👏

  • BUILDER SPOTLIGHT: @blackcatbicycles | Todd Ingermanson crafts his stunning custom steel frames with the utmost attention to detail, building and painting them one at a time. The frames feature custom-made components to create a unique silhouette, immediately recognizable as a Black Cat. Using in-house built tube benders, characteristic and innovative dropouts, individually mitered gussets, and house turned bottom bracket shells, these are not off-the-shelf bikes. 

Going for 21 years is much longer than Todd thought this thing would ever last. Smooshing style, discombobulating design, tickling techniques, muddling the methods, flustering the forms, confusing the construction, and agitating the architecture, still keeps him coming to work every day. Whether it's industry-adopted industrial design or face-melting graphics, Black Cat is just hitting its stride. Let's party 🎉❤️🎉

  • BUILDER SPOTLIGHT: Rock Lobster | @paulhsadoff built his first frame in 1978 but was a hobby builder until January of 1988 when he decided to take the risk and go full time as a frame builder.  At present, Rock Lobster boasts an impressive two decades of building. 

"I had a rough go for the first decade or so- sometimes too busy, other times not busy enough- it was a lean time with a lot of stress but people kept ordering frames so I continued. As of today I can say that Rock Lobster has had about 20 years of strong business and it a self sustaining enterprise. It was quite a long time getting there but I feel very lucky. I have been working with really great racers over the years and they have shaped what I build as much or maybe even more than I have. I have had bikes in world championships and the olympics so my frames have had some very serious testing. A number of national championships have been won on my frames by some of the best US racers-more the rider than the bike but at least I know that what I built did not hold the riders back. At 67 years old I’m still at it, building nearly 100 frames a year for customers around the globe. I can’t afford to retire so I guess you can still get one if you want one! I build in steel and aluminum and all frames are custom." @paulhsadoff 👏🤩🙌

The frames feature custom-made components to create a unique silhouette, immediately recognizable as a Black Cat.

BUILDER SPOTLIGHT: @blackcatbicycles | Todd Ingermanson crafts his stunning custom steel frames with the utmost attention to detail, building and painting them one at a time. The frames feature custom-made components to create a unique silhouette, immediately recognizable as a Black Cat. Using in-house built tube benders, characteristic and innovative dropouts, individually mitered gussets, and house turned bottom bracket shells, these are not off-the-shelf bikes. 

Going for 21 years is much longer than Todd thought this thing would ever last. Smooshing style, discombobulating design, tickling techniques, muddling the methods, flustering the forms, confusing the construction, and agitating the architecture, still keeps him coming to work every day. Whether it's industry-adopted industrial design or face-melting graphics, Black Cat is just hitting its stride. Let's party 🎉❤️🎉

BUILDER SPOTLIGHT: Rock Lobster | @paulhsadoff built his first frame in 1978 but was a hobby builder until January of 1988 when he decided to take the risk and go full time as a frame builder.  At present, Rock Lobster boasts an impressive two decades of building. 

"I had a rough go for the first decade or so- sometimes too busy, other times not busy enough- it was a lean time with a lot of stress but people kept ordering frames so I continued. As of today I can say that Rock Lobster has had about 20 years of strong business and it a self sustaining enterprise. It was quite a long time getting there but I feel very lucky. I have been working with really great racers over the years and they have shaped what I build as much or maybe even more than I have. I have had bikes in world championships and the olympics so my frames have had some very serious testing. A number of national championships have been won on my frames by some of the best US racers-more the rider than the bike but at least I know that what I built did not hold the riders back. At 67 years old I’m still at it, building nearly 100 frames a year for customers around the globe. I can’t afford to retire so I guess you can still get one if you want one! I build in steel and aluminum and all frames are custom." @paulhsadoff 👏🤩🙌
