Today felt like a real kickstart. 🚀
I ordered some epoxy to firmly bond the lugs to the bamboo. This is the backbone of the project—without solid joints, there’s no bike. I’ll probably need to dive deeper into the world of resins—there must be tougher ones out there to make the frame even stiffer and stronger. To be continued!
Another milestone: the first draft of the bottom bracket is drawn. It doesn’t look like much yet—basically a skeleton version with just the bare minimum material needed. But it exists now, and it’s ready to be printed. That’s already a win.
And then some happy mail: the FSA BB30 Threaded Adapters arrived! 🎉 First step is to measure them precisely and model them in CAD. For those not following every detail: this little part gets glued into the bottom bracket shell, which will later allow us to screw in the crankset. Small parts, big impact—this is the kind of detail that makes the whole bike roll smoothly.
