This blog grew out of the desire to build yet another bike
(I built two single speed bikes out of old ten speed frames found by a friend
over the past two years). While pouring
through bike porn to determine some of the components I wanted for these bikes, I stumbled
onto some bamboo bikes built by Calfee Designs.
At that point I knew I needed to build my own.
It turns out that the strength-to-weight ratio of bamboo is quite good. It also provides some of the dampening characteristics of carbon fiber frame.
Check out the bike testing video here: https://vimeo.com/6930129
Two years later I am now starting. This blog is my own personal journal for the build. I don’t see it stopping at just this one.
