About the Scholarship

The SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship supports frame-builders from underrepresented groups, offering them the opportunity to showcase their work at BESPOKED Dresden, 10-12th October 2025. This initiative aims to remove barriers and actively foster a more inclusive cycling industry.


What's Included

  • Exhibition Space provided by SRAM: Recipients receive a stand at BESPOKED 2025, paid for by SRAM providing a platform to present their work to a broader audience.

  • Mentorship Opportunities: Access to guidance from experienced industry professionals in preparation for the show.

  • Media Coverage: Promotion through BESPOKED and SRAM media channels to highlight scholarship winners' stories and builds.

  • Financial Support: A stipend to assist with accommodation, and other expenses related to attending the show.

  • Components: Complimentary components from the SRAM catalogue.



Eligibility

The criteria for application are simple: if you don't see people like you fairly represented in cycling, you should apply!

“If you're unsure of your eligibility for the scholarship, there's no harm in applying—you won't be taking space away from anyone else. BESPOKED and SRAM are committed to selecting the most appropriate candidates through a thorough and considered selection process, prioritising applicants who can contribute to genuine long-term change.”

Petor Georgallou, BESPOKED Director and Organiser

Good Grief – 2024 Scholarship Recipient

"The scholarship helped massively with visibility for Good Grief and my framebuilding. Being able to show my work in Germany gave me an international audience (and a ton of new friends) and allowed me to meet and mingle with some of my biggest inspirations in framebuilding. The scholarship also gave me the flexibility to build a frame and execute an idea that had been living in my brain for a long time. It gave me the flexibility to take time out of customer builds to really focus on a single idea and execute it to my highest potential."

Chris Schmidt, Good Grief
