Ruckus Composites raffles carbon frames to support female cycling

  • Ron 

Ruckus Composites, a Portland, Oregon based carbon fiber repair business, repairs thousands of bikes a year for customers, bike shops and frame manufacturers. Every so often a bike never gets picked up, and ends up in the dead pile.

Shawn Small, Ruckus’ company president, has been wondering what to do with these lost souls for several years, but this year he ‘cracked the code’.

Working with local and national non profit organizations as well as grass roots cycling teams, Ruckus plans to repair and custom paint these bikes and raffle/auction them off to raise money and awareness for causes that they believe in. The proceeds from these frames will go directly to organizations in need, the bikes will go to the lucky winners of the raffles.

The first two frames will be raffled in support of Presented By Let’s Race Bikes (PBLRB). PBLRB is a Oregon based project dedicated to supporting and enabling elite female cyclists to compete on a national level. They are breaking down the financial barriers associated with professional cycling by offering support to female athletes through crowd sourced initiatives.

PBLRB has raised money to date with support from The Athletic and Sellwood Cycles in Portland OR. We are excited to work with them and proud to support their efforts in cycling.

To enter the raffle, you can purchase tickets online here, the raffle will end on June 17th. Ruckus will announce the winners and total amount raised for PBLRB on that date.

Tickets can be purchased for 25 dollars a piece, or buy 3 for 60 dollars. Tickets are tax deductible and the money raised goes directly to supporting the wonderful and talented women of Presented By Let’s Race Bikes. All the details about the project can be found here.
