Panda Bicycles

Alright, Patrick's here from Panda and his partner Jacob says, Patrick needs to talk about this one since he has some special tricks on it. Patrick, tell us about this one. So this is actually the first steel bike I've ever built. Lug bike, great, but incorporates some bamboo into it. This is a limited run and 25 we're going to do either a seat tube or a top tube. The seat tube will make it a little bit stiffer, top tube will make it a little bit softer. Full Velo package, which goes great with our bikes. Some small details So the spokes, that's what? The spokes are the straddle cables, so instead of using just a braided cable, use spokes. I think it's much more cleaner and provides a really great responsive feel to the brake. Right, right. And then from there we put some ebay and some campy stuff, It's hard to find a really nice chrome derailleur anymore. Right. And then some really old campy shippers. Oh yeah, down shippers. So it's great. This is Velo Orange, so they produced these now, The brakes and everything. They actually have this great design on the brakes where you can, there's a 4mm Allen key right here, and you can adjust the toe. So just bolt this down and it'set, then you can adjust it because it's way easier. That'so interesting to look at. So who's the ideal buyer for this? Someone who wants a beautiful bike. The full bamboo bikes are pretty flexible, so were trying to stiffen up the frame, but still incorporate bamboo. So we had the idea of, let's just do a lug bike. Right. Make it, and it turned out gorgeous. Right, absolutely. It looks Yeah. Carry some beer on this rock. That's mostly important. That's mostly important. Wonderful. Thank you Patrick. Yeah, definitely. Thanks. Thanks.
