Here, Dave Rome chats with Escape’s US tech editor Josh Weinberg along with famed framebuilder (and Escape contributor!) Rob English.\nWithin you’ll hear about emerging trends from the custom bike world, why Rob believes there are no new ideas left for bicycles, and some of Rob and Josh’s top picks.\nAs usual, the episode wraps with our regular Ask a Wrench segment, where Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto) and Dave Rome answer technical questions from Escape members. You’ll need to be on the Escape member podcast feed to listen to this section.\nSee all the coverage from Made 2025 here.\nTime stamps:\n2:40 - Explaining Made and industry vibes\n10:00 - Trends in the handmade scene\n18:30 - Josh and Rob’s favourite bikes of Made\n31:30 - Rob’s absolute favourite - a bike from 1979\n36:00 - A little Aero bike\n38:30 - Favourite small parts of Made\n55:45 - Ask a Wrench (Members only)\n57:00 - A corrections corner related to impact wrenches\n58:40 - Bottom bracket torque settings\n1:03:15 - Solving a worn dropout\n1:09:00 - Sticky cables, sticky drink mix","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RBvZ42VOa2IulzLpz6GqMhunUzl2KYbNT7_xuoZrdHw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYzNk/OTc3NzE0MjIyOWM0/M2IzZDcwODY3ODU1/Njc5Mi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
