Tiny path cruiser

At long last I'm really getting started on Risheeta's bike. The idea is to take the parts from one of these and re-build the wheels for 26 inch and make it into a comfy, unique gravel path cruiser. Inspiration for the frame comes from here as well, but with out the cargo capacity.

(don't mind all the junk in the background, that's for another project, or two, or three, or four)

Super tubes

Trying to make some super reinforced bamboo tubes with a bit of carbon, a bit of ingenuity and a fair bit of frustration.

End result, nearly useful

For some reason, the bamboo decided to crack AFTER I reinforced it with carbon fiber. I think that it was the combination of heat, internal pressure and then mayb uneven cooling that caused the split. Perhaps the bamboo expanded with the heat, and then couldn't shrink back to normal with the reinforcing material inside.
