SRAM INCLUSIVITY SCHOLARSHIP
The criteria are simple: if you don’t see people like yourself represented in cycling, you should apply!
SRAM x BESPOKED INCLUSIVITY SCHOLARSHIP
Since 2022, BESPOKED has partnered with high-performance bicycle component manufacturer SRAM to offer a unique scholarship that provides a platform to underrepresented individuals within the cycling community and helps foster diversity within the framebuilding world.
We aim to foster a truly creative and innovative space where exhibitors feel welcome to be the most unfiltered version of themselves without having to assimilate to feel legitimate.
Scholarship recipients will receive:
Exhibition space and staging at BESPOKED Dresden 2026, 11-13 September.
SRAM components to support the creation of a show build.
Dedicated promotional coverage across BESPOKED and SRAM channels to help tell recipients’ stories and showcase their work.
Financial support for accommodation, breakfast and parking for the duration of setup & show days (10-13th Sept).
Support and mentorship from experienced industry professionals in the lead up to the event.
“We know talent exists in many forms, but access, visibility and confidence to put yourself forward are not always shared equally.
If you’ve ever questioned whether there’s space for your work or your story within cycling, we’d encourage you to apply. The aim is not to define who belongs here - it’s to help make sure more people feel that they do.”
Petor Georgallou, BESPOKED Director
“Being able to show 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 that had been living in my brain for a long time…allowing me to really focus on a single idea and execute it to my highest potential. “
Christopher Schmidt, Good Grief
