Build by @aleportante finished using a #sram groupset and #huntwheels.

Red. Bold, unapologetic red. Alex's build makes a statement with painted lugs that demand attention against natural bamboo tubes.

The spec matches the confidence: SRAM groupset, Hunt wheels, Apidura top tube bag. This is a build where everything was chosen deliberately, from the red bar tape echoing the frame accents to the component spec that backs up the aesthetics.

Standing in late summer grassland, the bike looks ready for exactly what it was built for: long rides on mixed terrain, the kind of routes where road turns to gravel turns to track turns to adventure.

Hunt wheels have become the gravel standard for good reason: they're built for abuse, tubeless-ready, and look the business while handling the substance. Paired with SRAM's gravel-focused groupsets, this bike is ready for serious riding.

The colour contrast works because it's decisive. Not a hint of red, not a subtle accent, but full commitment to the choice. That's confidence.

Flared drops give extra control on rough descents — the slight outward angle at the drops provides leverage when the trail gets choppy. A detail that matters more than most riders realise until they need it.

Red bamboo done right. Ready to ride. 🔴
