Gravel lugged frame with cameo finish. Any finish can be applied to the bamboo, painted, stained or

Camouflage finish on bamboo. Any finish can be applied — painted, stained, or something entirely unexpected like this.

The camo pattern plays with the natural bamboo colour. Dark green and olive shapes break up the golden tubes, creating a military-inspired aesthetic that's both functional and distinctive. Good luck blending into the woods though — that Hunt wheelset gives you away.

Those 4Season Gravel Xwide wheels from Hunt are built for year-round abuse. Tubeless-ready, wide enough for comfort on rough surfaces, narrow enough for efficiency on tarmac. The GRX groupset completes the gravel-ready specification.

The roller shutter backdrop is pure urban grit. Metal, concrete, drainage grates — the contrast with the organic frame material is intentional. Bamboo bikes don't need pastoral settings to look good. They work in cities too.

Staining or painting bamboo requires preparation. The natural surface needs sealing first, then the finish can be applied in layers. The camo effect here probably involved masking between colours — time-consuming but worth it for something this individual.

The 'Bamboo Bicycle Club' text on the seat tube is a small detail in this busy frame, but it's there. Every frame we help create carries that connection to the workshop where it started. Even when it's hiding in plain sight. 🌲
