Bamboo bike with carbon rack and panniers
OK, here’s the latest photo of my fine ride. She’s now a bamboo cargo bike since my bike mechanic bonded on a FABULOUS made-from-scratch carbon fiber rack. Oh, he built the bike too. He’s pretty amazing. The bike is built from my Trek X01 cyclocross frame so it’s aluminum, bamboo and carbon fiber. He used carbon fiber sleeves and tow on the joints. The rack is carbon fiber rods bonded together and to the bike. The bike and and rack and my headlight, bottle cage, etc. weighs 21 lbs. The guys at Epic Bike and Sport weighed it for me last week. Not sure how much the panniers weigh but they are heavy.
So, what do I call her? (Not that she comes when I call her….) I have no idea, so I need yours!
Give me some ideas and win!
I’ll give the top 3 name entries a Tool / Accessory Bag.
It’s perfect for stashing a spare tube, C02 cartridge, patch kit and tire levers. Or for you girly girls….Make-up! I put an extra blinky light in mine too. I use one of mine for my iPod too.

I love the bamboo bike.
but really I want to know where you got your panniers.
Did you make them?
No, I didn’t make them. They are made by Basil. Here’s a link to their website. http://www.basil.nl/gb/assortment/
You can do a Google shopping search and find lots of them. Your local bike shop should also carry them.
Thanks for your comment!
