SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship Recipients & Pre-Show Industry Tours Announced for BESPOKED Dresden 2025
SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship Builders revealed and two days of industry tours prior to BESPOKED, connecting builders with regional innovators in cycling and manufacturing in collaboration with Saxony Trade & Investment.
Dresden, Germany – 5 September, 2025 | BESPOKED, Europe’s leading handmade bicycle show, is delighted to announce the four winners of the 2025 SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship, who will exhibit among more than 150 makers at BESPOKED Dresden 2025, hosted at Dresden International Airport from 10–12 October 2025.
The SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship champions frame-builders from underrepresented backgrounds, offering them the opportunity to present their work on a global platform.
Rasch Cycles (Berlin, Germany) Katharina Rasch is a Berlin-based builder committed to challenging the underrepresentation of women in frame-building. She applied for the scholarship to overcome the barriers of scepticism and cost that many non-male builders face, with a vision to create more visibility and confidence through workshops. At BESPOKED Dresden she will present a lightweight cargo bike designed for touring, shaped by her own experience as a smaller rider and by the overlooked needs of many others.
GutterBikes (Naarm/Melbourne, Australia) Bee Loneragan, a transgender and non-binary frame-builder, founded GutterBikes to make cycling and fabrication more accessible for queer and FLINTA communities. They have spent over a decade breaking down barriers in the Australian cycling scene through social rides, workshops, and grassroots organising. At the show they will present a hard-wearing, repairable bikepacking rig built to explore remote places while keeping the spirit of community and joy alive.
RESET Adaptive Mountain Bike Solutions (Graz, Austria) RESET is an Austrian startup founded by Simon Walch and team, building adaptive off-road bikes designed by and for riders with disabilities. Their mission is to make cycling radically inclusive, tackling the high costs and limited visibility of adaptive technology in the industry. At BESPOKED they will showcase models like the Ranger tilting enduro trike and Scout e- handbike—machines that open the trail to riders of all abilities.
Telbert Frames (Bristol, UK) Telbert James is a UK-based frame-builder and long-distance rider, using bicycles not just as craft but as tools for social mobility and wellbeing. As a person of colour working in a space where representation is rare, he has combined frame-building with community projects that give disadvantaged young people access to cycling and education. For Dresden, he will bring a custom gravel bike scaled for smaller riders, inspired by his son and designed to challenge the industry’s narrow view of fit and inclusivity.
Inclusivity has always been central to what BESPOKED is about — not just beautiful bikes, but the communities they come from and the new ones they help build. The SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship gives space and support to voices that might otherwise go unheard, and it’s only with SRAM’s partnership that we are able to open up the stage in this way. We’re grateful to SRAM for making active steps towards a future of cycling that is more open, diverse, and creative.Petor Georgallou, Director of BESPOKED
