Bamboo build by Jose in USA. 2.2kg with frame, fork, headset stem, seatclamp and post.

The numbers tell the story: 2.2kg for frame, fork, headset, stem, seatclamp, and post. Jose built one of the lightest bamboo setups we've seen, and the component choices show how he got there.

EC90 carbon fibre everywhere — fork, seatpost, both branded with red and yellow graphics that pop against the black. These are weight-weenie components, the kind that cost as much as some complete bikes but shave grams from every rotational and static part of the chassis.

The frame itself uses our lugged construction, but the execution is precise: minimal overlap at the joints, clean transitions from carbon to bamboo, no excess material anywhere. Every gram matters when you're chasing these numbers.

What we love about this image is the presentation. Hung on a BiHANGER wall mount, the frame becomes sculpture. Clean white wall, no distractions, just the object itself demanding attention. It's how you'd display a work of art — because, arguably, that's what this is.

Building light requires restraint. Every additional wrap of fibre adds strength but also weight. Every design choice involves trade-offs. Jose clearly understood where the balance point lived and built right on top of it.

The practical implication of this weight? Climbing becomes easier. Accelerating feels faster. The bike responds to input rather than absorbing it. For a rider who counts grams, this frame delivers.

From the USA, proof that obsessive attention to detail travels well. Stunning work, Jose. 🔥
