Hairy Posted April 17, 2018 Share 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 Fruity, Long Wheel Base, the nerd and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warthog Posted April 17, 2018 Share 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.

porqui Posted April 17, 2018 Share 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, Fruity and duringd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted April 17, 2018 Share 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 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 Hairy and Fruity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
