Looks kinda goofy. I think I'd appreciate it more if it was actually ride-able. A bike that can't be ridden isn't much of a bike to me.

His selling it as a piece of art....

At any rate, I now understand why this project failed me; at the time I didn’t know a whole lot about tube mitering, which is crucial to the structural integrity of the frame. The front triangle of this bike is NOT SAFE by any means! This bike should ABSOLUTELY NOT BE RIDDEN, EVEN FOR A SECOND OR TWO!!!

It looks cool but, given the plethora of actually rideable bamboo bikes that look just as cool...
I dunno.
