I've always had a bamboo bike on the back of my mind.

I recently learned that you can make oil soaked wooden plain bearings by boiling hardwood in oil. Bamboo ranks pretty highly in hardness. I wonder if bamboo hubs and wooden bottom bracket are possible. Bamboo rims are probably also doable, and bamboo handlebars are certainly feasible.
