What made you decide to build a bamboo bike?
I liked the idea of having something original
Did you enjoy building the bicycle from scratch and would you recommend the experience?
Yes definitely I really enjoyed the experience and you should definitely have a go
What did you find most difficult about your bike build?
preparing the bamboo was quite difficult especially scraping the ends of the bamboo
What was the easiest part of the build?
painting was really easy
How would you describe the ride of your finished bike?
its my first Bmx and is hard to compare but its quite a smooth ride
What would you improve about the build experience or your finished bike?
I put one of my stickers upside down so I would put it the right way up but I think it looks fine as it is
