Amazing Bamboo Fixed Gear Bicycle

Zack Jiang started making bamboo bicycle frames in Beijing. Bamboo agriculture and craftsmanship exists at a level in China that exceeds other countries but its use of bamboo in industry should be recognized. He wants to rewire the cultural acceptance of bamboo from historic uses (brooms, clothing poles and scaffolding) to new forms of product design. He wants to inspires others to rethink about the use of bamboo in design. That is why he made this single speed commuter bike. This bike was designed for urban city commuting on flat roads giving comfort, stability and shock absorption. At a green event in November this bike was up for auction and Wesley was the lucky purchaser. He brought it back to my shop and we converted it to fixed gear with new and better components. It was dark when I took the pictures of the final bike so colors do not come out as nice as they actually are.

The golden rims and cranks go well with the bamboo frame, the yellow chain goes well with the yellow grips and the dark green velvet seat cover goes well with the matching drank green hubs.
