Gravel build by Jason. Gravel lugged kit with grx finishing pack.

Bamboo against bamboo. Jason's gravel build, photographed against a reed fence that mirrors the frame material. Intentional or lucky coincidence, it works.

This is one of our lugged gravel kits, finished with Shimano's GRX groupset. GRX was designed specifically for gravel riding — brake lever ergonomics for drops, clutch derailleur for rough terrain, gear ratios optimised for mixed surfaces. Premium choice.

Those Vision wheels are ready for serious distance. The carbon fork keeps the front end light and responsive. Black lugs keep things understated, letting the natural bamboo be the visual statement.

The dappled light creates beautiful patterns across the frame. Late afternoon sun filtering through leaves — the kind of light that photographers chase and builders hope for when documenting their work.

The concrete beneath and wooden decking suggest a garden or courtyard setting. After a ride, or before? The chain and cassette look clean, so possibly this is a documentation shot before first dirt.

Gravel bikes have exploded because they answer the question of 'what if I didn't have to choose?' Road and trail, fast and comfortable, race-ready and adventure-capable. A bamboo gravel bike takes that further — what if your frame was as interesting as the places you'll ride it? 🌿
