Hannah and Her Chumba Ti Sendero
For the 2025 Made Bike Show, Chumba Cycles didn’t have a booth. But they had something even better — a bike with proof patina all over it. Hannah rolled in her dusty and trusty Chumba Sendero Ti hardtail, fresh off The Mountain Race series: Atlas Mountain, Silk Road, and Hellenic Mountain.
Hannah spent a few years working with Chumba when the brand was based in Austin, Texas. “I don’t weld, but I do cut metal,” she said, reminding our audience of her role in making frames.
Hannah wishes to thank Industry Nine for all of their support, South City Stitchworks for the bags, Chumba for the exciting few years, and Teravail tires, noting she never got a single flat during The Mountain Series.
Keep on skidding, girl!

Fine Bikes Big Hearts Big Tires Road Bike
Charles and Adeline of Fine Bikes from Raleigh, North Carolina, were at the 2025 Made Bike Show to show off Adeline’s newest road bike. Charles had made her previous road bike, and over the years began to make a list of everything he wanted to fix and made the bike you see now. Charles called it a “fat tire road bike built specifically for Paul Racer brakes.” The soft Pink and deep red accents both had a small amount of sparkle to them, and the inlay on the white industries hubs is that same pink color if you look closely. The whole bike is Columbus Spirit, finished with Paragon dropouts.
The heartbreak has a classic silhouette with its quick-release wheels, 2×11 drivetrain, but a few nods to modernity with its tapered head tube and integrated seatpost. The wheels are built up with Sim Works stems, which Charles used as a baseline to match the rest of the brass on the bike.
He made his own cable tensioners on each of the Paul brakes, and you can see various cable adjusters throughout the bike; a man after my own heart.
There are hearts throughout this bike from under the cable guides to the fork blades, one the dropouts, and even some Jubilee MFG heart cable hangers!

Haute Bicycle Co Haute Lap Single Speed ‘Cross Bike
Wilson Hale and Steven Wood run Haute Bicycle Co. in Richmond, VA. They’re a part of a large industrial workspace, housed by various builders and a machine shop. This collaborative environment spawns bikes from the brand, like the XO-1 homage from our Sea Otter Reportage and the brand’s sole bicycle on display at the 2025 Made Bike Show, the Haute Lap.
Built from a mix of Columbus tubing and featuring the Ritchey Breakaway system, the Haute Lap is a perfect travel bike. Wilson boarded a plane with it for the showcase and spent the weekend going on social rides. It’s nice seeing a show bike with some dusty and dirt already. Even the Astral rims and Paul hubs are showing use. Those XTR Parallel Push V-brakes offer stopping power, plowing through the dirt.
The Banana holder was made by shopmates Richmond Bicycle Factory, and the Ti seatpost was made by Haute, with a custom dark anodizing job. Like many small builders, attending bike shows is expensive, but Metal Guru got a booth at the show and brought out a series of East Coast builders. Another company that helped Haute out was Ritchey, who supplied the full cockpit, fork, and Breakaway. The spectacular paint is all Spray.Bike and was laid down by Grant Fanning.
Wilson was really enjoying the show and talking to all the other builders he’d previously only chatted with on the internet. That, in its own, may be the gleaming and redeeming quality of bike showcases like the 2025 Made Bike Show.

Hot Salad Gravel
B Vivit of Hot Salad bikes pressing her Portland home field advantage with this unpainted gravel bike. She mentioned she was a framebuilder, not a painter, so she’s letting the welds speak for themselves. That’s a statement of confidence at the 2025 Made Bike Show With a mix of mainly Columbus tubing, some Reynolds, and Paragon dropouts, and her custom bent seat stay, all is laid bare.
The frame is a 54cm and is for sale, so if you were considering a frame from B now is a great opportunity. The build is from her personal kit, which can all be swapped out for whatever the buyer might want.

Moots Limited Edition Adventure Bike
Moots from Steamboat Springs, Colorado, had two unnamed bikes at the show: one adventure and one very fast-looking gravel bike. I personally decided to take a closer look at the gravel adventure bike for obvious reasons. Moots is planning to make a limited run of these bikes in the fall/winter of 2025, in one simple cable-actuated spec (no batteries), for a one-time run. The amazing topographic finish will be exclusive to this build.
The spec will match close to the parts you see here with a full suite of Chris King’s new Jade anodized parts perfectly matched by Moots’ in-house anodization on their own stem, seatpost, and top cap. With mounts galore, a comfortable geometry, and plenty of Ti to keep the chatter down, this rig is the cream of crop as far as adventure bikes go.
If you have big dreams for 2026 and want an adventure bike like no other, keep an eye out for this limited run from Moots!

Pedretti and Pucci Fat Road
Jonny Pucci has a way of attracting special projects. His time spent at the famous Joe Bell’s paint shop has earned him the reputation of being a master painter. Countless classic frames have passed through Jonny’s careful hands. His reputation precedes him. He met Marco Pedretti while visiting Italy. Marco handed him a frame and requested that he paint it. Knowing this could be the beginning of a classique friendshop, Jonny obliged. For a trade, he later asked Marco build him a ‘cross bike with clearances for 45 mm tires. … and it had to be inspired by Vampire Hunter D. You know, normal Italian bike stuff!
When the frame was finished, Marco wrote Jonny, saying the frame was en route to San Diego and that it would fit 35 mm tires, which was plenty for riding a classic bicycle like this. As Jonny removed the frame from the protective wrapping, it was like unveiling a unique piece of jewelry. Each layer of paper unfurling, it revealed a stunning piece of artistry. He was stunned.
The difference between someone who believes that it’s “good enough” and someone who goes the extra mile, hiding details no one would see while observing the artwork, is evident in these easter eggs. For instance, the fork for the bike is topped with a track bike crown, under which displays the Pedretti name. Under the top tube at the head cluster, a lug with a gaping window carved in it.
That’s just the lugwork. Jonny’s bike also features adornments from Joe Bell’s private collection with Campagnolo and Columbus water decals dating back to the 1970s. He spent his time with the paint, lining the lug windows, and the final product is absolutely stunning. If only we had a model who could pose with the bike. Ehhh. I guess Jonny will do!
Got dang. All of these details are touches — those made by hand. Jonny and I were chatting, and he dropped an Italian word on me: Sprezzatura, or treasure. He did note that “Make sure you get the R after SP sprezzatura is elegant, spezzatura means trash.” This is very poetic and denotes the difference between trash and treasure.

San Util Design From Ash and Echo Hardtail
We have covered San Util’s Winter Park, Colorado shop and many of their bags here on the site the past few years. When I was chatting with Adam at the show, he mentioned that he had built his display bike himself just weeks before the show.
One of his employees has a metal shop, and Adam decided to just whip up a frame. His DIY gumption seems to be endless.
Adam was also showing off a set of prototype panniers lashed to a MICA rack, custom-printed framebag, and a matching top tube bag, all in wonderfully light Ultra 200 fabric. We’re big fans of Adam’s design here at the site and I was really happy to see him dipping his toes into framebuilding as well.

Tumbleweed Stargazer
Tumbleweed bikes should need little introduction these days, but if you are unaware, Tumbleweed makes some of the best touring bikes in the industry. Just ask Ryan Wilson what he rides and why John called the Stargazer “Best in class” for drop bar MTBs — enough said. Dan and the team had a beautiful build to show off at MADE this year, featuring an updated UDH dropout and two new colors. This build features a host of delicious purple anodized parts from Chris King and Paul Components, but what really caught my eye was the drivetrain.
We hadn’t had a chance to see Tumbleweed’s new stainless steel chainrings in person yet, and they are beautiful. But let’s take a look at that new UDH dropout being fully utilized with a prototype from Ratio Technology. It looks like they are working on their own derailleur with fully customizable guides for various cable pull ratios. I’m personally very excited to see some of the tinkering derailleur companies start to properly utilize the UDH mount.
Until then, we’re just gonna drool at the amazing proportions and beautiful build of this Tumbleweed.

Vicious Cycles Rabbit Fighter Gravel
New Paltz, NY-based Vicious Cycles was a part of the Metal Guru booth that Carl set up at the 2025 Made Bike Show. On display was this Rabbit Fighter gravel bike, with silver GRX and Ritchey components, including those shiny Ritchey Zeta Wheels.
Each of Vicious Cycles’ models is named after T Rex songs, and the Rabbit Fighter is built from a mix of Columbus tubing and Metal Guru components. Carl applied a blocking featuring a special paint finish with a mother-of-pearl swirly opalescence that shifts in tone depending on which way the light is striking the frame.
The IS47 head tube pairs nicely with the Columbus fork. Seeing Carl out on the West Coast was a real treat, and his bikes always embody such flawless construction. This all-silver build came out stunning!

Zabrina Fendered Road Bike
Last year at the show, the builders were rallying behind John Caletti, who suffered injuries from a bad crash. Zach Weiss helped complete a special Caletti for the show to display in John’s honor. A year later, Zach was pleased to share the news that John Caletti had regained some mobility and was actually completing his first frame since the accident.
Over the past twelve months, Zach relocated to Oakland, where he’s been splitting his time between framebuilding and architectural metalwork. This is one of the bikes he’s completed during this period of career reflection. Creating bikes for his clients is his passion, but it’s not necessarily stable work, so Zach has found stability in working for an architecture office on metal finishes. Still, his love for building bicycles is strong, and he expressed to me that he was glad to be back at the 2025 Made Bike Show with new work.
Displayed at the First Hand booth, this TIG-constructed, fendered road bike clears a fat tire and is built with a no-nonsense kit meant for logging miles no matter the weather. It’s been ridden for hundreds of miles and still looks fresh.
Guys like Zach are always a pleasure to catch up with at these showcases. Be on the lookout for more thoughtful writing from him in the future, here at The Radavist.
