This project was to redesign the current Alabamboo Bike. This new version reduces the production time and cost as well as makes it possible to mass produce the parts and perform repairs as well. Each joint is connected to the bamboo by the use of a metal band system that uses bamboos natural compression strength to be held together.

This was the original sketch that started the whole project.
