For the fourth year running, BESPOKED and SRAM are continuing the Inclusivity Scholarship - supporting framebuilders across the UK and Europe and helping
create more opportunities within cycling and framebuilding.
The scholarship exists to help people who feel they do not currently see themselves represented fairly within cycling to share their work, exhibit internationally and become part of the wider handmade cycling community.
Recipients will exhibit at BESPOKED Dresden 11-13 September and receive funded exhibition space, mentoring support ahead of the show, promotional opportunities and components support from SRAM.
There is intentionally no strict definition of who this scholarship is for.
If you've ever questioned whether there's space for your work, your story or your route into cycling within the wider industry - we'd encourage you to apply. And if you know someone whose work deserves to be seen, please share this with them.
Scholarship Details
Recipients of the scholarship will receive:
- Exhibition space and staging at BESPOKED Dresden 2026.
- SRAM components to support the creation of a scholarship show build.
- Financial support toward accommodation costs.
- Dedicated promotional coverage across BESPOKED and SRAM channels to help tell
- recipients' stories and showcase their work.
- Support and mentorship from experienced industry professionals in the lead-up to the
- event.
Eligibility
"This scholarship is for people who feel they don't currently see themselves reflected fairly within cycling or framebuilding, whether that's because of their background, perspective, experience, or route into the industry.
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 – Director, BESPOKED
