**Revolución Bamboo Singlespeed

This was handbuilt by Dave from Revolución bikes as a demo bike and has only been ridden a few times. Selling as its wasted hanging on the wall (though it does look lovely as decoration!)
The frame is constructed from Bamboo, with titanium lugs, and was handbuilt with love and care in Dave’s small workshop in Dartford.
The bike is built up with the following spec:
Frame - Bamboo/titanium
Crankset - FSA ISIS carbon track
Wheelset - Kinlin XR -380 Bitex hubs (more info here: http://www.wheelbuilder.com/custom-kinlin-road-wheels)
Handlebar - Trigon RB120 full carbon
Stem - Trigon Carbon
Seat post - Thomson
Saddle - Velo senso miles
Brake - FSA Energy
Fork - Trigon carbon
Brake levers - TRP RRL SR
Bamboo bikes are an great ecological alternative to traditional frame materials, and are perfect for anyone looking for something a bit different - although be prepared for people to talk to you at the traffic lights!
For more information on the build, and photos, see Fixed Gear World’s feature on Revolución - http://www.thefixedgearworld.com/2013/03/bamboo-titanium-bikes-by-david-protheroe.html#.U6gZ6ZRdWSp .
More photos to follow.
Asking for £950 ono.
