The 14th edition of the UK and Europe’s leading handmade bicycle show, Bespoked, will take place from April 25-27, 2025, at Victoria Baths, Manchester.
BESPOKED: Celebrating Craftsmanship & Innovation
BESPOKED was created to highlight the work of independent builders and manufacturers who represent the cutting edge of the cycling industry. The exhibition is a hub for innovation, experimental design, and exceptional craftsmanship, celebrating the culture of handmade bicycles while promoting diversity and inclusivity within the cycling community.
BESPOKED is one of the best cycling events we’ve attended. It’s not just a consumer show; it’s a space for like-minded people to connect, share ideas, and inspire each other to create amazing bikes and products. — Claire, Condor Cycles
APOCALYPSE Build-Off: A New Creative Challenge
New for 2025, BESPOKED has partnered with Brother Cycles to launch the APOCALYPSE Build-Off, an initiative to make the event more accessible to independent bike shops. Brother Cycles is providing a limited number of warrantied frames free of charge for participating shops to use as a platform for their custom apocalypse bike builds.
Confirmed participants include Stayer, Sentient, and Bikefix, with more to be announced.
The inaugural BESPOKED Build-Off is about more than just building bikes—it’s about bringing independent shops and enthusiasts together in a way that sparks creativity, fuels passion, and strengthens the cycling community. — Petor Georgallou, BESPOKED Director
