For this reason, please purchase epoxy from your local store. Depending on the instructions on the box, the mix for each epoxy will differ. Smooth and Stable Ride: Several aspects of bamboo are extremely valuable to cyclists: high strength-to-weight ratio, vibration control, and sustainable growth. Because of bamboo's tendency to grow straight, it does not exhibit "knots" and "turns" in its wood, unlike other types of wood. This tendency also allows for excellent vibration control, which, in turn, provides for a smoother ride and increased stability on rough terrain.

Bamboozler
I bought my kit here on Amazon and it arrived in a few weeks. It come with all parts needed except wheels. When I contacted Bamboobee aka Sunny he was very helpful sending me another fork better suited for me, no charge. The build took some time, however was a fun learning experience. The only reason it doesn't get five stars-because the bamboo cracks easily. This makes it aesthetically degraded. It rides nice and is very unique!

Fun Project
This was a blast to build!There were a few issues with broken tubes when I opened the box but the reason that I am giving it 5 STARS still is because I emailed them a picture of the parts and ask what the next step was, and they emailed me back within an hour saying they had just sent replacement parts. Great customer service.The only other issue was low quality directions (think IKEA but less pictures) but there were plenty of videos on their website about how to do it. Would've liked better descriptions of wrapping the tubes properly, but easy enough to figure out if you're even remotely DIY inclined.Haven't decided if I'm going to use it as an actual bike, or a piece of art. I stained mine to make a richer color.

Awesome! Unique!
These kits are fun and can result in a high quality bike that can bomb down a mountain at 35mph+. I have built a couple with the basic and one with the advanced (edition II) kit and both have turned out suburb. I opted to buy some separate hemp fiber to make a more uniform joint rather than use the large pre-knit fiber they provide. Takes a little patience but these make a fun project and a reliable bike if done right.
