Scholarship for framebuilders seeks applicants

If you’re a framebuilder who feels like they could use a little help, SRAM/Bespoked’s Inclusivity Scholarship applications open tomorrow.

The scholarship criteria is deliberately broad – if you feel under represented, you can apply. Those selected will benefit from mentorship, free components from SRAM, and a fully funded stand at Bespoked Dresden, 10-12 October 2025.

“If you don’t see people like you represented fairly in cycling, we encourage you to apply. If you’re uncertain of your eligibility, apply regardless—you will not be taking a place from another candidate. BESPOKED and SRAM engage in a thorough selection process focused on fostering genuine, long-term change within the cycling community.”
