I am building a bamboo bike frame and plan to make the joints out of carbon fibre. Some people recommend hemp as a joint because it has a similar thermal expansion coefficient. I however like the aesthetic and structural properties of carbon fibre. That being said, I have never used carbon fibre and am wondering what resin I should use. I am also debating whether to use fabric or tow. I plan to purchase the carbon fibre skinning starting kit to try it out. I will be abutting the bamboo to each other and then wrapping the carbon fibre around the joint. Are there any suggestions or books that anyone can recommend? I am very appreciative of your advice.

Thanks,
