The second bike is underway. She’ll be a similar vein to Maisy, but for a friend named Daisy. I’ve got the front triangle mitred and the drop-outs are being laser cut. Progress!
Hi, First of all congratulation for the web site and also for the bamboo bike you made, it was very nice job. I realised that this geometry is very similar to my 2nd bamboo bike’s geometry (https://sites.google.com/site/kobikedesign/bamboobike-s2). There are only two main differances: 1. My seat tube angle is 74, because I prefer to sit “above the BB”. 2. My BB’s height is 295mm, If you are planning to use this bike with fixed gear I recommend higher BB than the planned 278mm. Anyway, I like this geomethy, it is very responsive, but stable. Greetings from Hungary, Gabor
