Rob English and Josh Weinberg are reporting from the venue and today they are kicking off their coverage with a variety of builds on display, ranging from a boundary-pushing 32&#8243; wheeled monster gravel bike to an elegant mid-reach road bike and even a steel full-suspension BMX. <\/p>\n<p>Tyler Reiswig and his team at BTCHN&#8217; consistently innovate and push the boundaries of frame and component fabrication from their workshop in Chico, California. Escape already covered one such <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/unbound-2025-nathans-btchn-bikes-titanium-monster-gravel\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">feature-packed build at Unbound<\/a> earlier this year, which combined short chainstays with chubby tires and a large chainring. For Made, BTCHN&#8217; partnered with component brand Wren to build a gravel bike around a set of its 32&#8243; carbon wheels. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MADE-2025-Day-One.jpg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>A bike built specifically for Tyler, as a prototype to test various concepts and designs, fits the big wheels into a size medium frame while retaining a desirable geometry. It&#8217;s based around his personal favorite gravel bike, which he uses for everything from singletrack to gravel races and rolls on a 27.5 \/ 29&#8243; wheel mullet wheel setup. <\/p>\n<p>                        <a href=\"escapecollective.com\/#\/portal\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ASH00036-2.jpg\" alt=\"CTA Image\" data-image-dimensions=\"1921x1280\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like what you&#8217;re reading?
