I built my road bike at a workshop in 2015, been riding it pretty much every day since. Certainly one of the best ways to spend a weekend and as a bonus you come away with new skills and a unique, beautiful, functional bicycle. Get involved and join the club! Update* its 2023 and Im still cycling this bike most days. The components wear out faster than the frame

My expericence at Bamboo Bicycle Club Amersfoort: I've travelled to Bamboo Bicycle Club Amersfoort to build my first bike frame from bamboo, I plan to do a tour through Europe on it. This workshop was a very beautiful time for me. To put it in Tim's, our workshop leader's words: "It's not easy, but it will all add up to the end result". Yes, it definitely wasn't easy at a few points, but in the end it all it has all worked out - the Bamboo canes fit and the connections are rigid. I can't wait for the day I can ride on it. But first, it will take two more weeks for the connections to harden thoroughly and afterwards I need to do finishing work to protect it from weather and dirt. Hence, it will probably take at least another three weeks. This is not the first test in patience during the build of my own bike. However, I'm sure that the time and energy that flows into it is well-invested and will pay off on all the tours I'll do on it. If you decide that you'd love to build your own frame I can only recommend to do this workshop! Tim has put all his efforts into making it as comfortable and nice as possible. Not only the workshop itself, he has helped me out with everything around it - searching a hotel in Amersfoort, lending me a bike or giving advice about components to fit on the bike. It was very valuable to have this helping hand and being inspired by his love for bamboo. More pictures - Instagram: @nino_chudoba
