As above really, I've had a quick google but couldn't see much other than instructables etc.

I thought there was a kit at the european handbuilt bicycle show, but can't seem to find it?

If you have any suggestions it would be very much appreciated.

Mucho thanks ๐Ÿ˜‰

Dare2Be (made by Regatta) have some pretty cheap. I've got a bamboo ls full zip top ( called ilus d-lab or somthing like that), very breathable, dwr coated so is ok for light rain + windproof. Packs down small as well. Not tried the base layers yet but will keep an eye out in my local Aldi/Lidl as the bamboo top is very good. Recen running sale in Aldi had only coolmax tops.

I think the OP is talking about a kit to make your own bike frame from bamboo, not clothes made from bamboo fibres.

Does that not imply a kit to build a frame out of bamboo, rather than 'kit' as in clothing?

Is this for legs tawny? you could slip yours into a pair of garden canes and they would still have space inside ๐Ÿ™‚

Sorry about that, i decided to be more decisive ๐Ÿ˜†

No idea where you'd get such a kit though, apart from maybe checking the Calfee website?

LMGTFY fail, that, as the OP said, appears to be about how to do it rather than the kits themselves.
