All of that hand sanding to get the parts just small enough to fit. If you’re into doing everything by hand with the minimum amount of power tools a Shopsmith comes to mind. One tool to rule them all… You could use it as a vertical sander. Lathe, or vertical drill press. And switch from one to the other in seconds. A afternoon job becomes a 15 minute walk in the park. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a new one either. They’ve been around for decades. A lot of enthusiasts make a hobby of it rebuilding older machines… That afternoon of working on just one bike frame? You could have turned them out by the dozens.
You do need to have a gap for the adhesive to go into, otherwise all of the adhesive will be pushed out when the tube is inserted into the lug. Something like a 0.2mm gap will give you a better structural build (this does depend on the type of adhesive used and the materials being bonded)
I really like the idea of these Bamboo bikes. Can't wait to see final impressions.
Thanks!

It's been over a year since this build began. Did you ever complete it? Many of us would like know your impressions of the bike.
Which glue was used in joints??
We do say a minimum of 4 hours for the frame build!
Better than waiting 7 months for your bike to arrive in the mail 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
the tubes seem very easy to slot into the lug. probably tighter fit will be safer?
