Handmade Bamboo Bicycles

*** Chapultepec Fresh & Casual *** FRESH & CASUAL A sunny day, the sound of the wind passing through the leaves of the trees, the cool breeze ruffling your hair, it doesn’t matter, what matters is to enjoy the ride, to enjoy being alive. The Chapultepec is a relaxed and light bike, ideal for riding around the city in an easy going way while enjoying the scenery. We assembled the Chapultepec to be light, minimalist and elegant. We chose high quality components, white painted aluminum or black anodized. The curved Moustache handlebars provide an upright riding position with a straight back. The Chapultepec’s drop bar geometry makes it easy to mount and dismount the bike. In order to have a smooth, relaxed, seated (upright posture) ride, we chose an intermediate seat tube angle for the telescope, thus achieving a steering that is neither too fast nor too slow and stable. 700×40 tires provide excellent grip on natural and uneven terrain as well as on asphalt. And for braking we have 3 versions, Vbrakes, mechanical or hydraulic disc brakes.

Bamboo is also lighter making it ideal for bicycle construction. Neither bamboo or carbon fiber are subject to fatigue. Your bike can endure daily use and falls without losing its strength. Naturally bamboo generates 30% more oxygen than trees, this helps break down Co2 generated by cars. It takes up to 15 years for a regular pine tree to grow, it takes bamboo as little as 3 years to reach the same level, making it a very renewable source. Joints are hand made from unidirectional 50K Carbon Fiber. Carbon Fiber is an extremely strong, resistant and light material. As well as bamboo, CF is no subject to fatigue, so, in time, there will not be any acumulable damage on your bike. Using unidirectional fibers lets us design how the structure throughout the bike works. The species of bamboo that we use for the bikes is commonly known as "natural steel" of "solid bamboo". Other incredible quality is that it absorbs as much as x4 more vibrations than carbon fiber, making our bikes, the smoothest bicycle (ideal for long rides). __________________________________________________________________________ *** Why choose Bamboocycles? *** We have been building frames and assembling bicycles for 11 years.
