Bamboo #mtb build by Milan from the Czech Republic. Using our home build kit!

From the Czech Republic, Milan built this mountain bike using our home build kit — and then took it to the local bike shop to show off. Can you blame him?

The setting tells the story: OSB boards, bike stands, other machines in the background. This is a proper workshop where mechanics will instantly recognise the craftsmanship. Natural bamboo hardtail among carbon and aluminium — it stands out because it should.

The spec is serious MTB: Kenda tyres with aggressive tread, suspension fork for absorbing trail chatter, wide flat bars for control on technical sections. This isn't a novelty build; it's a trail tool that happens to be made from grass.

Home build kits let people create frames at their own pace, spreading the work across weeks or months. Milan took that flexibility and produced something worthy of any trail network in central Europe.

The Czech Republic has some of the best forest singletrack in the region — old logging roads, purpose-built trails, everything in between. This bike is built for all of it.

What makes home builds special is the independence. No instructor scheduling, no workshop hours to keep. Just you, the materials, the videos, and the satisfaction of figuring things out.

From home to shop to trails. Milan built something worth showing. 🏔️
