Custom Gravel Bike by Joesph
Putting the frame together was surprisingly straight forward, though i'm well aware that a lot of work has gone on in the background to ensure that the length and angles are right for each builder.

What made you decide to build a bamboo bike?
Did you enjoy building the bicycle from scratch and would you recommend the experience?
What did you find most difficult about your bike build?
What was the easiest part of the build?
How would you describe the ride of your finished bike?
What would you improve about the build experience or your finished bike?
The option of an extra day would have been good. As i went through the process i started to appreciate that with more time i could have given the lugs a flawless finish. I think this alone could be a day of sanding perfection (for the hardcore perfectionists)
