As per the title!
I follow a YouTube Channel buying from car boots and selling on Ebay and today he posted a video with a Bamboo Bike frame.
Watch the whole video or Fast Forward to 6 mins and 8 seconds VIDEO
It'll have been made in Ghana I think. What it won't be is light! Local bike charity got given a bunch of those frames during lockdown and we got a few built up but it wasn't easy finding parts with the sliding dropouts. At least the one above has a derailleur hanger. They do come heavily polyurethaned and are quite cool in their own way but a tenner sounds about right.
Lol, I'd missed that video but I'm sure I remember the bike frame build on the forums?
Either way, the vid did give me a bit of a chuckle.
Bamboo hardcore hardtail? Bet it isn’t as hardcore as mine! 🤭
Surely a bamboo frame is hollowcore?
TBH I vaguely remember them being a bit of a fad and you could buy bits in kit form to roll your own.
Got one in may garage still. Made in Northants though, not Ghana. And fairly light.
👍 I'm on version 2
