Simon's Single-Speed Bamboo Bike

Bamboo single speed by Simon, built as part of a weekend workshop. Classic urban machine against rusty corrugated backdrop.

Brown leather saddle adds vintage character. Silver drop bars with unwrapped tops. Single speed simplicity — no gears, no complexity, just pedal and go.

The rusty steel behind creates industrial contrast. Urban setting, urban bike, urban attitude. This is what happens when craft meets city cycling.

Weekend workshops compress learning into two days. Simon left with skills and a frame ready to become this.

Single speeds suit riders who value simplicity. Simon clearly does. 💪
