One of three bikes built by Glenn in New Zealand, you can listen to a radio interview live on our bl

Glenn in New Zealand built not one but three bamboo bikes. This one carries 'Bamboozled' script on the top tube — a name that captures the surprise people feel encountering bamboo frames.

Those deep red lugs work beautifully against the golden bamboo. Rich, warm, confident without being aggressive. The carbon fork handles the front end duties with proven reliability.

The wooden gate and green grass backdrop is pure rural New Zealand. Farm country, quiet roads, the kind of terrain that rewards all-day riding on comfortable geometry.

Building three bikes suggests someone who caught the building bug seriously. The first teaches the process; the second refines technique; the third explores variations. Glenn clearly progressed through all stages.

We featured a radio interview about Glenn's builds. Stories like this travel far when builders share them. New Zealand feels remote from London, but bamboo bikes connect builders across distances.

One of three. The other two have their own stories. Glenn has enough bamboo bikes for variety. 🥝
