the ‘bamboo and carbon fiber’ bicycles by the spanish company, bambu campos bikes, form a collection of models: fixed, single speed and urban, that are completely customizable. choices such as different colors, geometry and sizes can all be chosen and then added to the hand-crafted two-wheeler. the frame which has a commemorative, unique serial number, utilizes the natural lightness and vibration-dampening characteristics of bamboo. the sustainable wood is joined together using carbon fiber – opposed to the common practice of using aluminum – in order to ensure the structure is even more lightweight and stiff.
