A number of different manufacturers are using bamboo to make bikes and many of them are truly beautiful. From what I've read though, they're quite expensive and performance-wise, not really a match for similarly priced conventionally made bikes.
We have a guy here on the forums who's made a bamboo bike. I don't know if he has any pics of it here anymore, but maybe you can find one or two in the Utility bikes section....look for posts by AllenG.
