Twostickframes

Twostickframes sells hand-built bamboo bicycle frames, complete bikes, and frame-building kits priced USD 650–1 500 for frames and USD 1 800–3 200 for full builds—solidly mid-range among custom bike outfits. Add-ons include bamboo fenders, racks, and fork crowns. Sales are direct-to-consumer through the webstore only; no dealer network or showroom inventory is maintained. The brand’s USP is a patented heat-treated bamboo-carbon composite tube set that claims 30 % higher impact strength than conventional carbon lay-ups while damping road vibration. Each frame is laminated, filed, and clear-coated by two builders in a Colorado workshop, keeping annual output under 300 units. Their “Two-Stick” gravel frame (3.1 lb / 1.4 kg) is the signature model and has been featured by Bikepacking.com for sub-20 lb off-road builds. Customers are sustainability-minded cyclists aged 25-45 who want a unique, repairable frame with a story: bamboo is renewable, tubes can be replaced if cracked, and every purchase plants 50 trees through the National Forest Foundation. Buyers value craft over mass-market branding and often document builds on Instagram under #ridebamboo. Twostickframes competes with small-batch steel, titanium, and carbon gravel brands by offering a lighter, vibration-damping alternative whose raw material literally grows out of the ground. Limited production, transparent sourcing, and a lifetime tube-replacement warranty position it as the eco-centric choice in the crowded custom-frame market.
