Oregon Manifest Handmade Bike Show Opens
Action time. Meet some of the finest handmade bikes in the world and the personalities behind them. From bikes built in Portland to bikes built across the country, this show will highlight what can be created with two hands, a set of files, a thousand degrees of heat, and a valiant heart. Builders will be showing their bikes, sharing their stories, and collectively demonstrating the depth and breath of American cycling culture. This is not your average pipe-and-drape experience; this is a rare opportunity to experience builders and their bikes, up close, raw, personal and powerful. OREGON MANIFEST is intent on being more than just a showcase for superior craftsmanship. It seeks to display the fortitude, unrivaled pluck and indomitable spirit that burns in the heart of the artisan bike builder.
Bring your energy, your curiosity and plenty of cash money for the many unique offerings available.

Hot. Sweaty. Loud. Awesome. Saturday night marks the return of roller racing in Portland. You didn’t make it last year? Check the footage. This event will be blogged about to eternity!

Riders will be selected from the Teams of Portland with wildcard entries chosen the day before. Winners of the men’s and women’s categories will each walk away with a custom built frame of their very own–and every top placer from OBRA racing categories will get a call up at the Cross Crusade race the following day (How cool is that? It’s very cool!) .
