James Suckling (02/02/2020)

I took part in the 4 day workshop offered by the Bamboo Bicycle Club. I found the whole experience to be very worthwhile and thoroughly enjoyed it. The workshop covers all of the information required to build a bike frame from scratch, choose how to finish it, and how to install all of the components. My goal was to ride the bike away at the end of the 4th day, and I was able to do just that. The workshop itself is clean and well equipped with all of the tools and materials you need to build the bike. James (who ran the course) was on hand the entire time to talk us through each stage and to offer advice or answer questions when needed. His advice and knowledge was invaluable in helping through those moments that a novice bike builder like myself may find daunting (even right from the start with picking out what bamboo to use!). I felt welcomed and at home throughout the workshop. Refreshments were available (even a beer or two at the end of a busy day). I love the bike and am so pleased I went on the course. I'm planning the next build! I would recommend the course to anyone. Not only did I get a bike frame and a good experience out of the workshop, but I also learned a huge amount about how bikes go together and are adjusted. For me that made the whole course very good value for money.

Very positive experience. James is friendly, knowledgeable and it was amazing what we created in 2 days. Nice people gathered. I am looking forward to the finishing workshop as it seems the tools, the advice and the support is well needed to have the perfect "end-product". I shall be proud of my bike once it is ready.

Had a fantastic, relaxing, and for me somewhat extraordinary weekend. Both James and the other people at the workshop were really nice, which made the ~18 hours we spent together even more fun. They knew a lot about bikes and helped whenever we asked but let us get on with it at the same time - when you're beautiful new bike is at stake this can certainly feel like stepping out of your comfort zone! The workshop was sunny and neat. Generally a great atmosphere. If I had to go back in time and again had decide whether I wanted to spend the money on this or something else, I'd choose this again.

I had a FAB weekend building my MTB 29er. It was a really good insight in to what it takes to build a bamboo frame. Good job and big thanks to James.

Home build kit has come out really well and James also does a spray lacquer in the workshop. The whole process was a great experience and James was helpful every step of the way.
