The bamboo frame
 

I thought some of you would get a kick outa this.

Actually, they ride pretty nice! Awesome bikes, but a tad expensive.:D

You've riden one or owned one?

Twenty years ago I made a rack for the back of my motorcycle out of bamboo. It was very strong and survived an accident. Bamboo is an amazing material.

What I like is the fork he put on his bamboo frame.

Ridden one. It rides a lot like Carbon Fiber frames. A friend in Fort Wayne has one. They built bamboo bikes in India for years, by the way.

I made a 3 feet tall frame backpack out of bamboo for week long hiking trip in mountains - it worked great and I used it for years to carry big loads around.

Geez, and they say that the feel of a carbon ride is wooden...

ehhh, the one Calfee makes is a lot nicer.

Cool. i would have expected it to be a little lighter, as did the builder apparently, though I suppose you've gotta use some pretty hefty pieces of bamboo. And it is classy in my eyes. I was expecting a road bike though. When I saw the full build I was a bit surprised :eek:

Anyone know the vibration dampening properties of bamboo?

It looks like sex on wheels and I don't know why.
