Bamboo Bikes
Anybody else sorta curious how durable the Dylan bamboo bike is?
I keep thinking about buying one of the SS ones just to see if the frame is durable. |
Bamboo is recyclable.... the downside to owning one is the price!

Yeah, I wonder what's so cool about them too. (If anything). When I talk about a bamboo bike people always give me the "really? They make those?" reply. The problem with these bikes, as with things like Yuba Mundos, Dahon full size folding bikes, and other less common bikes is that there's no place to try them out. How do you know that it's worth the money? Even if you buy with the intention to return, shipping can be expensive!

Imagine if steel, aluminium, and carbon grew six to twelve feet a year in thickets that were almost impossible to eradicate.
In addition to its bio-degradability, weight and tensile properties, that is bamboo's advantage. |
Its a fashion that came back , now the use of carbon-fiber epoxy composites
makes the joints sound . there are lots of people trying that combination .. Calfee in SF Cal another. Its another type of hand made frame.. |

What if someone took a plasma cutter to your metal bike?

You gotta admit - bamboo bikes make a great conversation starter... especially when equipped with "genuine" bullhorn bars:

OK, what if oxygen gets to your metal (not Ti, not stainless) frame?
