After celebrating its largest edition to date in 2025, MADE, the world’s largest showcase of handmade bicycle craftsmanship, has announced its return to Portland for 2026. The fourth annual event will take place August 21–23, 2026, once again at Zidell Yards.

In just three short years, MADE has become the anchor of the frame-building calendar, drawing crowds who admire titanium welds and carbon layups with the reverence typically reserved for fine art. This year’s edition was the biggest yet, welcoming more than 6,500 attendees who packed the hall, joined group rides, and toured the workshops of local framebuilders and industry icons like Chris King.

“We are excited for MADE’s fourth year and the ability to secure Zidell Yards as a venue again," said Billy Sinkford, the visionary and director of the show. “2025 was our biggest year yet. The response was incredible. A packed hall of enthusiastic cyclists and builders set the stage for a wonderful weekend of programming.”

Launched in 2022, MADE was created to give framebuilders a vibrant platform for exposure and expression. Its debut event sold out quickly, outgrew its initial venue within months, and became one of the most talked-about industry events that year. Since then, the show has expanded its reach with two successful editions in Portland and a 2024 debut in Australia, held in partnership with FYXO and alongside the Melbourne Roobaix.

Cycling Weekly's North American Editor, Anne-Marije Rook is old school. She holds a degree in journalism and started out as a newspaper reporter — in print! She can even be seen bringing a pen and notepad to the press conference.

Originally from the Netherlands, she grew up a bike commuter and didn't find bike racing until her early twenties when living in Seattle, Washington. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. As she competed at the elite level, her journalism career followed, and soon, she became a full-time cycling journalist. She's now been a journalist for two decades, including 12 years in cycling.
