Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, a nonprofit based in Quincy, reports it is honored to partner with a select group of custom bike frame builders to bring back the Builders for Builders fundraiser. Each donation of at least $10 made to SBTS through July 2 gets the donor a chance to win a custom frame handcrafted by Caletti Cycles, SyCip Bicycles, Mosaic Cycles or NeuHaus Metal Works.
“Together, we can make more dirt magic in the Lost Sierra — and you may just take home your dream custom bike in the process!” said SBTS.
The winner will select the fabricator of choice from the list above to build the frame, which will then get a custom paint job and be outfitted with high-end components from Paul Components, White Industries and WTB.
SBTS reports that all proceeds raised through this campaign go back to the stewardship to support more trails in the Lost Sierra.
The funds will specifically support Connected Communities, SBTS’ plan to connect 15 mountain towns via a 564-mile multiuse singletrack trail. The stewardship recently released the 68-page Trails Master Plan for the project, which outlines the proposed trail, dubbed The Lost Sierra Route, as well as plans to incorporate building techniques to create fire hardened trails to manage vegetation for wildfire mitigation. Many of the Connected Communities trail projects are already in the works, but completing the entire project will require a heavy financial lift, says SBTS. “Dollars raised through fundraisers such as Builders for Builders are vital, as they bring in unrestricted funds, or funds that don’t require a costly match or significant staff resources to manage, as is customary with government grants.”
