What made you decide to build a bamboo bike?
Love the look
Did you enjoy building the bicycle from scratch and would you recommend the experience?
It's a fun project and I think everybody should try building one that enjoys bicycling
What did you find most difficult about your bike build?
The seat stays because the time you sand down to fit there's not much of a wall thickness left
What was the easiest part of the build?
The chain stays
How would you describe the ride of your finished bike?
Very smooth and efficient
What would you improve about the build experience or your finished bike?
Make sure after you glue it it does not move at all I actually think the epoxy is creating Heat expanding the air possibly causing your frame to move during drying.
