We’re excited to share the launch of our latest product: the Bamboo Bicycle Club Frame-Building Jig – Version 6, now available at £595.
After years of refining our designs through workshops, builds, and community feedback, this new jig is our most streamlined and user-friendly version yet.
What Is a Frame-Building Jig?
A frame-building jig is the foundation of bicycle construction. It securely holds each tube in place, ensuring precise alignment while you join them together.
This version is optimised for bamboo but can also be adapted for other frame materials.
Key Features
Version 6 includes:
-
Durable aluminium construction – CNC-machined plates for accuracy and stability
-
Engraved measurement scales – etched directly onto the plates for easy geometry setup
-
Fully adjustable fixtures – vertical posts and sliding rails for different frame sizes and styles
-
Hand-operated knobs – black nylon with yellow caps for quick, tool-free adjustments
-
Engraved branding – Bamboo Bicycle Club logo and details, clearly displayed on each jig
How It Works
The jig makes frame building straightforward:
-
Adjust the geometry using the built-in scales
-
Secure bamboo (or other) tubes in place
