Back in August we visited the guys at In’Bô in France, a
great young team making some really exciting products using innovative techniques
fused with traditional materials.
In this film, Pierre Thomas LeClaire talks us through the
process of building a high-performance custom geometry bike. Using bamboo as
the main frame component together with flax fibres bound by an organic resin,
the end result is a truly unique sculpted-looking frame that is lightweight while
at the same time shows amazing resilience in high-performance
environments. The process pulls together
advanced design and construction processes with an intimate knowledge of the
properties of their organic raw materials.

Bamboo is a fairly durable material to use. Working with him is a pleasure, he is malleable in processing.
ReplyDeleteDo you think bamboo frame would serve longer than the one made from steal? I think it is worth trying. Hm, it might be an interesting senior project idea, thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteThey are loaded with more potent huskier motors compared to contractor table saws. This means the cabinet saw is perfect for sawing through thick hard wood with ease, all day long! tools
