Bamboo Bikes
After many years of working with bamboo and studying traditional joinery techniques, we have developed a new and innovative technique that allows bamboo to surpass its previous limitations. Through these techniques we are able to create lightweight bike frames with graceful and minimalist design. Because of bamboo's natural vibration dampening qualities, our frames have an unrivaled smooth ride, yet stiff and responsive for great transfer of power and agile steering. We are excited to be designing and building bikes with this sustainable and innovative material.
Build Your Own
*Due to the COVID crisis all workshops are suspended until further notice* Save big by building your own bamboo frame and have the satisfaction of riding your own hand crafted bike. No special skills needed, we’ll teach you the craft of joining bamboo and working with carbon fiber to create a high quality frame using the same techniques we use in our complete bamboo bike line. We go to great lengths to ensure the highest quality bamboo. Using bamboo grown in Hawaii, we’re able hand select, harvest, treat, and carefully dry our bamboo to have material of the highest potential. The bamboo we use is incredibly strong with mechanical properties exceeding that of steel (strength to weight)
Either build the frame and outfit the bike with your favorite components yourself or we have complete assembled bike packages that cost below retail of buying them yourself.
Our bamboo bike frame building kit has been specially developed for our bamboo bike class, using the best available frame building materials. The kit includes hand-selected and locally harvested Hawaiian bamboo that has been treated and dried over one year with our unique process. The kit also includes parts manufactured specifically for our bamboo bikes, such as custom designed alloy dropouts and precision machined, light weight alloy metal tubing parts to reinforce and integrate components to the frame at the headset, bottom bracket and seat tube collar. Our mission for each class is that each student builds a high quality and strong bamboo bike frame that they can enjoy for a lifetime. We have spent years researching and developing the best materials, techniques and design to bring you a fantastic product and continue to refine it more everyday.
