It is probably heresy to say this, but I would be interested to know the overall environmental impact of bamboo that is cut down from a forest somewhere, shipped across the ocean, coated in volatile organic compounds to make it water proof, and all the other processes that go into this, versus a steel frame. Also correct for the expected useful life span of both. Is this really a greener bike, or just a greenwashed bike?
