Asheville, NC — Cane Creek Cycling Components is proud to announce the return of the Pisgah Project Bike Raffle. Now in its ninth consecutive year, the Pisgah Project continues its mission: to help improve and maintain Pisgah National Forest, one of the most-visited national forests in the U.S. Pisgah is a rugged and awe-inspiring sanctuary not only for cyclists, but for hikers, anglers, equestrians, climbers, and all who love the outdoors.
This year’s raffle bike takes a bold turn onto gravel, built around a steel frame from REEB Cycles. REEB’s, The Sam’s Pants is designed and developed in Colorado and has been a long-standing supporter of the Pisgah Project. Paired with Cane Creek’s limited-edition 30th anniversary components and a carefully selected lineup of premium partners, the 2025 Pisgah Project Bike is built to explore Pisgah’s backroads and beyond — with durability, performance, and purpose at its core.
