2011 Oregon Manifest Constructors Challenge utility commuter bike by Cielo Chris King

If you’re pressed for time or you’ve got a helicopter parent for a boss, here’s a collection of highlights from the 2011 Oregon Manifest Constructor’s Challenge. These are the bikes that were made and designed exclusively by the builders, unlike the design collaborations that paired a famous design house with a builder shown here.

When you get a little more tiempo, check out the official website for a full gallery from each builder. And Core77 is the official media partner for the contest, so they’ve got a bit more there.

The bike above is from Chris King’s Cielo brand. More after the break…

You said in the other post that a lock and lights were a requirement. Were disc brakes a requirement too? It seems like every bike except the Art & Industry one had discs.

It’s hard to see but mine sports roller brakes (Shimano IM80). Low maintenance is a major tenet of the design rationale and I find disc brakes overly finicky. On the smaller 20inch wheels, they have excellent stopping power.

Roller brakes are sexy and low-maintenance. Go to a cycling country like Denmark and you won’t find disc brakes, you’ll find tons of rollers.
