Set within the heart of Portland's legendary cyclocross scene, Oregon Manifest will feature an unconquerable mix of custom framebuilders, bike-centric vendors, bike culture squads, and blowout parties, crowned with a Sunday cross race to bring home the glory.
Oregon Manifes is the collective vision of Portland, Oregon's cycling and creative communities who have come together to dream up and develop the most original, spirited, and spectacle-laden boutique bike show in the nation.
Friday, October 10th
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 tires, a thousand degrees of heat, and a valiant heart. Builders will be showing their bikes, sharing their stories, and collectively demonstrating the depth and breadth 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 fortitute, unrivaled pluck and indomitable spirit that burns in the heart of the artistan bike builder.
If you have a custom bike, ride it to the show. Special bike parking will be available to custom bikes, creating an ever-evolving installation immediately outside the show venue.
Saturday, October 11th
The show continues. This will be your final opportunity to meet the builders in the extraordinary atmosphere of the Greenroom.
Rapha Cross Roller Race
Saturday, October 11th 8:00 PM
Held across the street from the show venue, these aren't your average roller races - they're cross style. Running, dismounts, and full-on mayhem. Riders will be selected from the Teams of Portland with wildcard entries chosen the day before. Winners of the mens and womens 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. Entry fee is $10.
