The fine folks over at Core77 have a bunch of pictures from the launch of the Oregon Manifest Constructor’s Design Challenge. The top 12 designs will be on display for the duration of the event.
We’re looking for the next-wave transportation bike! OREGON MANIFEST has challenged frame builders from around the country to design and build an innovative, modern transportation bike in this technical trial of engineering dexterity and fabrication mettle.
Over 30 custom bike builders will be developing considered, integrated, and spectacular solutions for the everyday rider. The top 12 winners will be displayed at the OM Bike Union for our full 6 weekend run!

Most of them look like what you find all over Denmark, especially with the commuters in Copenhagen. Go there!
