Bamboo T-Shirt Titanium Bike by Wear Chemistry Review

Bamboo collection by Wear Chemistry
So far we have always conducted reviews of products directly related to bikes, but this time we have expanded the scope and we will conduct a review of clothing because ... usually when we rode bikes dressed ... (yes, I know , some do naked ...) and a very important part are our shirts, shirts that normally show our likes and trends ... and of course, our love for fixies!

 
Well, today we're going to do a review of a rather curious shirt is made ​​of bamboo, and is closely related to the world of bikes .. now we see!

 

The Bamboo T-Shirt by Wear Chemistry Review


Bamboo collection by Wear Chemistry
Well guys, we will make a review of this T-Shirt, we have it in size L, and vintage denim colour. About the size, as you can see in the pictures I'm not a "fashion model", and size L is a "little" just and fitted for my bulky body, I think it would be nice if was manufactured in size XL. 

But this is not the most interesting about this T-Shirt, it has a logo mixing bikes and the element of the periodic table of titanium (Ti), as you sure know, some bikes are made of Titanium...it's a really cool design!


It is made ​​with 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, so touch is really smooth and fresh, much finer and comfortable than typical shirts made with 100% cotton, congratulations Wear Chemistry!

 

Conclusion

  • The quality of the fabric is of good quality.
  • You can only buy it in size S, M and L, I think they should make the XL size ...
  • It is perfect for use throughout the year, but with heat provides better breathability than cotton shirts.
  • Shows your passion for bikes ... and that's always good!

Bamboo / Titanium bikes by David Protheroe

David Protheroe has sent us pics about one of his passions: the bamboo/titanium bikes. He has sent us a picture of his latest build, if any one would be interested in learning more about building with bamboo or they are interested in purchasing a frame please feel free to contact with David.

Fixie Bamboo / Titanium bike by David Protheroe

His story is that  his small company (only David) is called Revolucion frames,(inspired by Cuban poster art of the 50s and 60s). He works out of a small workshop at his home in the UK just outside London, its early days at the moment,the pic of the frame he sent us is only his second frame.

His aim is to just build a few frames a year and hopefully sell enough to enable him to carry on building. The build process simplified is a matter of using titanium ''lugs'' (pictured) placed in a jig then bamboo tubes are selected which have been cured (cooked) and have the right wall thickness etc, these are then inserted into the lugs using an aerospace construction adhesive. Decals are applied and then a finishing UV lacquer. He has also sent us a pic of the road bike he built a while back (road) this is built using a carbon wrapping technique, but he prefer working with titanium and will carry on using this process and building fixies as these are very popular in London.
