Hi everyone! I wanted to share my creation on the vitalmtb bike check page. I made the frame about a year ago, and since she exceeded my expectation and survived strong against the abuses and crashes, I decided to re-finish the frame and make strategic upgrades and take some nice pictures before I take her to the wild again. Cheers.

I commented on Sam's video that there was an early bamboo bike in Santa Cruz that was a shop bike somewhere in town. All of the main tubes had multiple splits in the bamboo but it still rode just fine around town for years.

Mine has gone through some splits too only on the down tube. It happened when I traveled from tropical weather to winter. Learned that it happens since bamboo needs to release stress inside of the material when the weather changes. Just filled the gap to seal it and rode it hard to see if it keeps happening. No more new splits since then even after some crashes, and same ride feel as before. Still I don't push so much beyond my limit riding this bike and just enjoy until being on the edge of the control to avoid extreme crashes.

Nice bike indeed. Was wondering the same thing about Sam Pilgrim riding it lol

Short research watching his video and I found the brand is called Roots bikes and Sam found it on ebay. They have a website and looks like they produce some frames with durable looking joints too. The one that Sam broke looks like it doesn't have proper matrix. Maybe for the entertainment somehow it was nice that Sam got that frame but the result would have been different if it was purpose built.

Really cool concept! Sam Pilgrim made short work of destroying one of these bamboo HT frames however

That is a beautiful bike. I would love to see what that felt like to ride. 🙌
