I'm starting this blog to promote my bamboo bicycle frames

Well I need to get the word out there somehow, seems like everybody has one of these things.

I am currently building fully custom Bamboo bike frames out of my house (mainly my living room/porch). Im a college student and building bike frames is hobby of mine, Im not running a business here. If you would like one, please shoot me an email and we can talk.

I built #1 for myself, a total learning experience.
I just finished building #2, which will be for my brother, and it came out great!
-Some highlights of #2
  Ti Rear Triangle, Hand wrapped carbon fiber joints, Close to 40 hours of attention on this single frame. How light is it? 3.65 pounds. When it came out of the factory the claimed weight was 3.8 lbs.

Have a broken frame that needs repair? Thats how this frame started out. It was headed to the garbage with a cracked Down/Top tube when my brother gave it to me to fix it. Now it has been revived and fully ride-able. More bad ass then ever.



Want one? Send me an email and we will talk numbers.
