Frame Geometries
City Bikes
First tested on the streets of Accra, Ghana where the stable yet agile geometry allows one to avoid potholes and aggressive taxi drivers. The bike is great for commuting and handles dirt roads very well. The 700c wheel size and disc brakes make it easy to mount fenders for all-weather riding. They are available with an optional eccentric bottom bracket for converting to singlespeed or internally geared hub use. Designed for use with a single front chainring.
Frames weigh from 3.5 to 5 pounds, depending on the size.

Mountain Bikes
Made for the dirt, this bike will go head to head with any hardtail on the market. Tested on the trails of Zambia, it comes with disc brake mounts and a slightly heavier construction for great crash tolerance. The bamboo absorbs washboard surfaces better than any other material. Designed for use with an 80 – 100 mm travel suspension fork. They are available with horizontal dropouts or an optional eccentric bottom bracket for converting to singlespeed or internally geared hub use. 29” wheel option coming soon!
Frames weigh from 4 to 6 pounds, depending on the size.

Road Bikes
The first Bamboosero model to be raced, this bike is designed around classic European road racing geometry. The bamboo absorbs vibration exceptionally well and is suitable for the roughest of roads. The frame is designed to be plenty stiff for the average sized rider of a given frame size. The wide range of sizes offered allows you to get one that fits perfectly. They come with horizontal dropouts allowing for singlespeed or internally geared hub use and are built with a brake bridge for standard reach caliper brakes. You may also select a disc brake setup with vertical dropouts. This frame can accommodate a rack and fenders.
Frames weigh from 3 to 5 pounds depending on the size.
