Tom out touring on his #handmade #bamboobike. Built using one of our home build kits. #touringbicycl

Tom out touring on his handmade bamboo bike. Mountains behind, smile wide, the particular satisfaction of being exactly where you want to be.

The Leith Hill Half Marathon shirt suggests a UK connection; the landscape suggests somewhere warmer — France, Spain, the kind of terrain that rewards loaded touring. Tom brought his British-built frame to continental adventures.

Panniers on the rear, handlebar bag up front, the classic touring setup that balances weight across the bike. Everything needed for days of self-sufficient travel.

Home build kits become touring bikes when builders have distant destinations in mind. Tom built knowing these mountains awaited. The frame was always heading here.

That view stretches for kilometres. Green slopes, distant peaks, the scale that only mountainous regions provide. Every pedal stroke up earned this panorama.

Building your own touring bike and then riding it through mountain ranges completes a story that begins in workshops and ends on summits like this. Tom completed his story. 🏔️
