Bamboo Bike #3, dubbed The Panda by its eventual owner is nearing completion. I’ve laid up 95% of the carbon fibre and just need to do some final cosmetic layers and then lots of finishing. Then comes the tricky things like brake holes, derailleur mounts and cable stops. Then some clear coat, then some testing!
Bamboo Bike #4 isn’t far away either. The head-tube’s been wrapped and the rest is scheduled to be done next week.
Here’s a few progress pics of The Panda:
all layed up, just needs sanding back
still a few more layers to go, then lots of sanding
they’ll be polished up to a mirror finish
kinda went overboard on the filleting, but it should be super stiff
needs one more cosmetic layer and a bit more sanding
all done
looking pretty messy at this point with all the tape, but rest assured there’s beautifully scratch free bamboo under there!
Looking at the size of that headtube…is this for my (six-foot-plus-sized) mate Dave B?
Dave’s is number 4, but there’s very little difference between the frame sizes. #3 is over 6 foot too!
