Common Questions

Do I need special tools?

No power tools required. Basic hand tools: hacksaw, files, sandpaper, measuring tape, and a work surface. Everything else is in the kit.

What if I make a mistake?

Most mistakes are fixable. Epoxy can be sanded and re-applied. Bamboo is forgiving. If you're stuck, our community has seen every problem — someone will have the answer within hours.

What else do I need to complete the bike?

Fork, wheels, groupset, handlebars, saddle, and finishing components. We offer component packs with everything included, or source parts from any bike shop.

How strong is a bamboo frame?

~28,000 PSI tensile strength — comparable to mild steel, but lighter. Under 1% failure rate across 4,000+ builds since 2012. Tested with Swansea University.
