Bamboo recumbent by Ron. A completely custom build that pushes what's possible with natural materials.

The bamboo seat curves to support the rider. Bamboo fenders protect from spray. The entire aesthetic is coherent — natural material throughout, not just the main frame.

Recumbent geometry requires different engineering. Lower centre of gravity, longer chain run, different forces at play. Ron solved all of it with bamboo.

Pink flowers and garden setting soften what could be purely technical. This recumbent lives in someone's life, not just someone's workshop.

Ron built something nobody else has. That's the ultimate expression of custom building. 🛋️
