Chapaneco,

It's a 29er. I'm not going SS or fixed, I have an internal geared hub to hang on it.
Went with hemp (sourced it from here)

Another change I'll make on the next frame is I'm going to spin the fiber into twine first.

Did you or would you consider finishing your bamboo with tung oil or clear coat?
I know I'm going to paint my lugs, but I don't know how a finish coat would adhere to the bamboo.

Oh and thanks, seeing your bike lit the fire under me to finish this one.
