Building a Bamboo Bike - Getting Jiggy with it

Bamboo Bicycle Club sent us one of their wooden bikes to make! Is this the toughest test road.cc has undertaken? Probably, but the bar isn't very high... The model we have is a £275 road bike designed for racing so when we finally finish it we will be challenging people Fast & Furious style (more likely racing in a cat3 locally). Stay tuned to see us struggle

I tried a few years ago to build one myself out of plywood, I still have the frame. Good luck!

Headtube, dropouts, bottom brackets, what materials are used to make them ?

[@joshuafoster8976]

Did you get to pick your own geometry/dropouts/BB/ seatpost size?? Or it it simply a standard design??

[@BamboobicycleclubOrg]

We offer custom geometry, dropouts, our BB are 68mm english thread but we can supply a press-fit etc. Seat tube is 27.2mm. The kit currently being built is our standard road frame from our stock designs

Technically, bamboo isn’t wood. It’s a grass
