    Builders For Builders: Dream Bike Raffle for Sierra Trails

    Jason MitchellBy Jason MitchellMay 22, 2019No Comments4 Mins Read

    Last year, our friends at ECHOS Communications organized a Builders for Builders raffle to benefit the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship. They raised over $40,000 and one lucky rider won a dream bike of their choice. Sierra Buttes organizes races like the Downieville Classic and Grinduro and spends the rest of their time maintaining and expanding trails for mountain biking, hiking, horseback and OHV use in Northern California.

    This year, one lucky $10 ticket will walk away with bespoke bike of their choosing from Mosaic, Argonaut, McGovern, Sklar or Stinner. Here’s the word from ECHOS:

    Bikes are at the heart of what we do at ECHOS Communications, and we’re pleased to be able to give back to the cycling community whenever we can. For the second year in a row, ECHOS is shepherding the Builders for Builders raffle, benefitting the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship and funding the amazing work they do. Last year we raised more than $40k for the SBTS. Their work is instrumental in expanding recreational opportunities in Northern California, bringing economic growth to their region through trail construction and maintenance, event promotion, and working with their communities to promote the region as an outdoor destination.

    With Builders for Builders, ECHOS brings together five top US bicycle builders to raffle off a custom handmade “dream bike.” The winner will choose their builder, with all the builders joining to support each other in delivering a truly unique bike. The raffle will take place on June 7, following the SBTS’s “Lost and Found” gravel race in Portola CA, where all five builders will be racing the bikes they built for the event, each of which is painted in the colors of the Sierra Buttes.

    Tickets are on sale now at https://sierratrails.org/builders-for-builders, and at $10 a ticket it’s an easy way to support a nonprofit making a difference for Northern California, while earning entrants the cheapest chance they’ll ever have to win their dream bike fabricated in the US from carbon fiber, steel or titanium, equipped with components from White Industries and ENVE Composites.

    • Argonaut is from Bend Oregon. Founder Ben Farver began fabricating steel bikes 10 years ago, shifting to carbon when he realized that he could use new techniques to offer the ride of steel with less weight and better durability. argonautcycles.com

    • Stinner Cycles of Santa Barbara builds businesslike frames where the richness of detail and purposefulness becomes more apparent on closer examination. Also building in both steel and ti, Stinner’s paint schemes are known as some the best in the bike world. stinnerframeworks.com
