Blaze Titanium Integrated Disc Road
Moab, Utah-based Blaze Bicycles always showcases simple and straightforward bikes that offer a substantial bang-to-buck ratio and allow a good deal more attention to detail than a bike from the big brands. Your average high-end road customer might buy a Specialized or Trek model because the model was raced by pros, and they want to look fast. But then they’ll drop 6 cm of spacers under the stem (you’ll have to ignore the spacers in the above example, as they haven’t been set up for the customer yet).
Meanwhile, in a workshop in Moab, Pierre Chastain of Blaze Bicycles is CNC milling all of his bicycle components in-house, embellishing his kit parts with his logos and developing his own UDH aluminum inserts. Chastain creates completely custom one-of-one bikes for each customer, all for around the same price point as a high-end carbon bike produced in the thousands, with super high margins and very little comparative personality.
During our yearly catch-up, Pierre lamented the struggle of keeping up with industry trends for his customers, using this challenge as motivation to solve each problem with a fresh approach. Take, for instance, his dislike of the curved top caps on most integrated cockpits. So he made an adapter to run a 1 1/8″ top cap on them. Then, his UDH aluminum inserts mesh neatly into his titanium dropouts.
As the shoot was wrapping up, Pierre made this exact gesture, which was interpreted as behold, I made this. Pierre’s work is perhaps some of the most precise at these shows, and the fact that he’s doing it all in-house is outstanding. Props to HiFi for the wheels on this build!

Buendia Custom Pinion Smart Shift Randonneur
I’m not usually a big fan of randonneur bikes, but this purple flake Pinion gearbox rando rig from Buendia really caught my eye. I like it when builders shake up the classic expectations of a certain type of frame and do a modern take. The customer originally wanted full nickel plating, but that wound up being less than optimal due to all the types of metal in the construction, so they went with purple flake everything!
The customer wanted a Pinion gearbox but had to wait for the new Smart Shift system to become available to avoid the dual-wire push/pull of the cable-actuated gearbox. Fitting all the wiring in the classic lugged tubes was a difficult proposition for Greg. He remarked that he would probably do a bi-lam construction if he did it again to gain some slightly larger tubes for stuffing all the wiring. I forgot to ask the exact interaction of the TRP Vistar system and the Pinion, but it must work out somehow.
This bike is as much the work of a framebuilder as it is a plumbing and electrician job, truly impressive.

Bullmoose Soft Goods and Eagleton Split Seat Tube Flat Bar Roadie
Wes from Boston’s Bullmoose Soft Goods was looking for a bike to showcase his bags at the 2025 Made Bike Show, and Sean Eagleton was there to help him out. This sweet flat bar roadie with a split seat tube for an extra short wheelbase really struck a chord with me. Of course, it was dripping in Dura Ace and those custom gold inlay cranks are something else.
This Eagleton featured Bullmoose SG’s Basket Boss and City Slicker.
If you are interested, check out my review from a few months ago of both bags. Wes has tons of fun and colorful bags all made with lots of love. Go check them out.

GHOOOST Custom Painted Doppo Ronin
I can’t tell you how excited I was when I found out the talented duo behind GHOOOST’s twisty little bike decoration flowers were at the SimWorks booth. I had Ronnie introduce me and promptly bought a few of their “twist flowers”.
They had a plethora of art available on shirts, totes, and even all the bikepacking bags of this Doppo Ronin. The Ronin is SimWorks’ take on the classic ATB. The Doppo frames are produced in Japan by Shin Hattori Works for SimWorks.
There are tons of lovely details on these frames, but we are really here for the art, so look closely for all the fun custom-painted detailing.

Ogle Design Titanium Full Suspension
At the 2025 Sea Otter in Durango, Colorado, Ogle Design unveiled a prototype titanium full-suspension bike. It was on our list to document, but the stars didn’t align. Luckily, Josh Ogle brought a more refined model to the 2025 Made Bike Show in a completely less chaotic environment, which allowed us to connect over the undertaking that has been years in development.
Ogle began cutting metal in the bespoke watch industry, where he learned advanced milling techniques. Once he got into bicycle design, he began to experiment with 3D sintered components. Yet, he hasn’t forgotten his machining roots, making special hardware for all of the linkage parts, stem caps, and his Fat Man Stem.
For his Made bike, he pinged Silca‘s 3D printing facilities to make frame components unlike anything we’ve seen before. Each of these frame parts has easter eggs, torque specs, and graffiti tags. In experimenting with these design cues, Josh is not only utilizing the technology as a palette but is showcasing the under-utilized technology in a way that is almost poking fun at the tech itself.
And it’s fucking amazing.
By utilizing the 3VO suspension platform, this 150 mm rear travel and 160 mm front travel 29er is as much a tech flex as it is a door knob to a whole different means to an end. Why not use 3D printing in more creative ways? Forgot that torque spec for the lower shock mount? Why not print it on the frame?
As we saw in the Firefly, adding labels like “CAUTION: Pinch Point” or “#ReformedEvilGenius” or “25 Nm” is throwing gasoline on the fire of perpetuity for future manufacturing, and we can’t wait to see how the flames grow.
Well done and a tip of the hat to you, Josh, for going full Burt Reynolds!

Pass and Stow Falconer with a Stunning Rear Rack Prototype
Matt Feeney has teased countless rear bike racks over the years, all of which might never make it to the production floor. Unlike his front 5 and 3-rail front racks, which are largely universal, rear racks present many challenges. For instance, steel can be cold set or bent to work with 130, 135, 142, 148, and even 157 mm rear-end spacing, but the attachment methods can be a challenge. And unlike front racks, which are mounted to forks, rear racks present more geometric problems.
As such, Matt sometimes just tinkers in his shop for a rack that works with his personal bikes, and then we all sit there and clamor for a production model to one day hit the market. But like the plethora of custom framesets on display at the 2025 Made Bike Show, we can simply enjoy looking at them as marvels of human design and innovation; we needn’t be able to buy them all, right?
Looking to make a new commuter bike, he took his Falconer hardtail, equipped it with a Ritchey Carbon Mountain Adventure fork, adding a 5 Rail front Pass and Stow rack before deciding that yes, it needs a custom rear rack, too.
When he noticed that Lords Luggage had made a 5 Rail PaS rack bag, he sprung for one and was using it to transport ice to the show each day. These bags ingeniously slide over the 5 Rail and attach using hardware developed for sailing.
While we may never get a Pass and Stow production rear rack, we’ll continue to document them. If only because it gives us time to catch up with Matt at each showcase.

Schön Electric Errand Terrain Bike
Danielle of Squamish-based Schön Studio was commissioned to build this ebike for MADE, which she is calling an ETB, errand terrain bike. The inspiration is drawn from the classic 1946 Bowen Spacelander. Danielle wanted to make an ebike that stood out, as she sees almost all of them looking the same, which I’d have to agree with.
The battery always poses a large problem if it is not integrated into the downtube, so she had to get creative. A custom steel plate box on the rear rack holds the battery and was painted by her sign painter friend. “Framebuilding is mysterious and important” really sums up the show nicely.
There is some magic in the spec of this ETB. Mavic e-bike rims with the fanciest Ultradynamico tires (I forgot to check to see if this was “certified”, but I think Patrick would approve). She custom machined the steel stem to Enve IN-Route spec to fit with the Chris King Aeroset, as well as a Sim Works Fun 3 bar welded to the stem.
The frame and racks all have gentle and flowing curves that soften the look of the bike. We deserve more e-bikes with soft and organic lines. I’m really in love with that rear brake mount, one of the prettiest I’ve seen. Also, it’s not purple, it’s lilac. Don’t get it twisted.

Stinner Frameworks Full Suspension Prototype
While visiting Stinner Frameworks earlier this summer, Aaron hinted at the possibility of the brand bringing a full-suspension bike. At the same time, this bike is a ways off from coming to market – it doesn’t even have a name yet – the proof of concept was very much ready to be ridden as long as you’re tall and leggy like Aaron Stinner.
This bike is big. And not just tall. 150 mm rear travel via Ministry’s 3VO suspension kinematics with whopping 170 mm of front travel, it’s primed to take on Santa Barbara’s most chunky trails. The large front triangle isn’t merely a response to Aaron’s height; it’s designed with the intent of maximizing frame bag space and bottle hauling with multiple bolt-on bag bosses present. Stinner bent the bottom elbow at the bottom bracket cluster with a mandrel, allowing for this clearance across all sizes.
All the plating was cut and bent in-house at Stinner, and while you may think this bike would be a tank, rolling it outside to document it offered a surprising light lift. Thanks to Lonewolf Suspension, who shares shop space with Stinner and is a Push dealer, Aaron was able to get ahold of the newest Push Industries tech, including their new inverted fork design and rear coil shock.
What we love seeing is more builders and makers utilizing the Ministry 3VO swingarm. The possibilities are endless. Just like Aaron’s inseam! Endless!

Sycip Ti Double Dribble
Jeremy Sycip has built dozens of full suspension bikes over his 33-year-long career, but last year’s Double Dribble steel full-suspension really clicked for him. He has been riding that bike almost exclusively since the last Made showcase, when we documented it. You might say he’s hooked on the platform. Looking for a challenge this year, he undertook another Double Dribble for himself – but this time out of titanium.
Fabricating out of titanium takes a mountain of additional time compared to steel, yet Jeremy was able to deliver a bike that feels like the “titanium version” in a wholly artistic way. Incorporating a Chris King Threadfit 30 bottom bracket for his suspension pivot and a T47 external shell for the bottom bracket, he needn’t worry about bearing life.
The rear swingarm’s vertical strut is so thin and elegant, with the tapered chainstays and big, fat downtube, the titanium Double Dribble has its own look and feel compared to its steel sibling. Plus, the XTR kit matches perfectly!
“Dude, it shaved two full pounds off the build,” he exclaimed while we were rolling the bike back into the show. Knowing Jeremy and how much he rides, we’re eager to hear about what he thinks about the titanium version.

Tonic Fabrication MMRAAS SSCX Adventure Bikes
“Be sure you emphasize that these bikes are for fun first! They’re not just for racing,” Tonic Fabrication’s Tony Batcheller emphasized to me as we rolled the “team” bikes outside at the 2025 Made Bike Show. The MMRAAS (Mike Muzik Racing and Adventure Squad) bikes are single-speed monster ‘cross bikes with eccentric bottom brackets for chain tensioning and shred tuning.
The TF head tube gusset, “Yard Sale” indicator on the bottom of the chainstay, and wishbone seat stays offer some uniquely Tonic design sensibilities and humor to the finished chassis.
The MMRAAS means business. Silly, fun, not serious business, but business nonetheless. The team had a zine with them at the show, but the copy Tony handed over is somewhere in North Dakota right now, along with all of our luggage from a long-delayed flight circuit home. Once we retrieve it, we’ll add some photos of it to the gallery.
Long live the SSCX bike.
