duringd Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 This came into my son's shop today to be built, looks pretty cool! Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using TapatalkI just cannot get my head around this frame concept? How strong could it be, surely only for roadbike purposes?
Hairy Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 I just cannot get my head around this frame concept? How strong could it be, surely only for roadbike purposes?super strong actually remember that in some of the Asian countries they have multiple stories of scaffolding made from bamboo. http://sthelensplant.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/bamboo-scaffolding1.png Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, the nerd, Kalahari Vegmot and 4 others 7
Warthog Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 I just cannot get my head around this frame concept? How strong could it be, surely only for roadbike purposes? The one I'm getting is a Zambike - made in Zambia. According to them "Strength to weight ratio for bamboo is stronger than any alloy". They make road & mtb. DJR, Fruity, duringd and 2 others 5
porqui Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 I just cannot get my head around this frame concept? How strong could it be, surely only for roadbike purposes? Despite its lowly reputation, bamboo may be the strongest stuff on the planet. It has greater tensile strength (or resistance to being pulled apart) than steel, and it withstands compression better than concrete Hairy, duringd and Fruity 3

It has greater tensile strength (or resistance to being pulled apart) than steel, and it withstands compression better than concreteAnd although we're becoming desensitized to the term "sustainable" through overuse (isn't that ironic?), bamboo is incredibly sustainable and Eco-friendly. It grows fast, and it returns to the earth when you're done with it. Edited April 17, 2018 by Lotus Fruity and Hairy 2
