That white rim brake road bike from Tomii Cycles was definitely my favorite of this group. Never heard of Tomii before but he does outstanding work!

Those Tomii bikes and brass accessories are beautiful!

I LOVED the rim brake road bike.

Ti-Cycles looks like a way overlooked builder!! Looks like he even makes Ti forks, which everyone else just imports from china.

The Ti Cycles coupled bike was so nice in person.

I appreciate this series of videos. Wasn't aware of all these bike frame builders. That Twmpa awesome.

Absolutely beautiful finish for sure. I was drooling over the chromed rear end of the Wilde steel bike mmmmmm.

Appreciate the the alphabetical tour, outstanding coverage of many amazing craftsmen, begs the idea why anybody would buy a Giant or Trek?

Thank you SO much for doing this brand breakdown. So many brands to explore!

You are welcome. Be sure to check out the other four videos from MADE.

Jom your coverage of this event has been excellent. I've enjoyed the multiple series and you featuring so many cool fabricators out there, thanks. Oh yeah and the Lady Gravel Cyclist in the background is appreciated. Nice legs!

Thank you Mr Pugsley! LGC took all of the photos I used int the website posting with these embedded videos, I could not have done this without her! I'll pass the compliment along :)

Tomii 👍

My favourite is Victoire. They have a level of customization for bikes and racks that is impressive, and practically unrivaled. Their finish is impeccable and they are masters of steel and brazing, particularly the cable entry and exit points. It must have taken a lot of effort and great cost to come all the way from France, but it is great to see them in the North American market.

For certain, Victoire, Battaglin, Twmpa, and others, made the flight across the pond at serious expense. I wish all of the builders much luck and prosperity!

@20:02…didn’t know White Industries does a fat bike crankset. Nice.

Thanks for showing the White Industries booth. That new VBC Chainset in full silver should be a winner. I contacted them about a year ago about getting my hands on silver chainrings and they said they only come in black at the time. So I didn't buy them. But now I will be buying them to replace the Dura-Ace 9000 crankset. Bling for my bike, love it.

If you desire to see how those parts are made, see my factory tour video linked in the video description. :)

Great coverage. Did I miss no22 somewhere?

I ran out of time to cover No. 22, but covered them extensively earlier at this year's Sea Otter on video, and my long term review of the Drifter. If you search my channel, you should be able to find those videos. Thank you.

Ah wish you’d covered Brad from Bingham Built ! Great video though

@@GHinWI Thank you. With 70+ builders captured on video, I figured alphabetical sorting was the best way to make it easier to view, edit (my part, haha), and so on. Myself and my partner aka Lady Gravel Cyclist (LGC) busted our arses for three days, capturing as much as we could.

at 5:47 how do you run di2 12 speed with rim brakes, what shifters?

@GravelCyclist

10 ай бұрын

Likely running 11 Speed Di2 rim brake shifters. You can mix and match the shifters in my experience, although a firmware upgrade may be needed.

I like aluminum no paint! Or titanium

OK then.

the tomii white bike whats with the tube under the top tube is that just an old style trend of oversized air pumps? i don't know the purpose

@GravelCyclist

This is a traditional way of mounting a full-size frame pump. It was a pretty normal thing even up to the late 1990's on steel bikes.

@froseph85

It’s a traditional design for a portable air pump before they got miniaturized. Held in place with a brazed on pump peg. Pumps are often custom painted to match the bike. These days you really only see them on custom bikes in a more traditional design for touring, randonneuring, or other forms of long distance cycling.
