If anyone would like raw bamboo to make their own bicycles, or scaffolding, or what not, contact me as I have some (plenty) native NJ Bamboo growing in my friends backyard...
I was thinking of building one for a few years now, but I still haven't started...

They disgraced this bike with Dura-Ace... how unfortunate

I still think Aluminum frame or carbon frame are better,but a BAMBOO.....oh my god,lol

I just heard on NPR (US affiliate of the BBC) that people over here are ordering them at $500.00 - - ~ L300.00.

The fork is not bamboo. It's made of carbon fiber. The frame is made of bamboo.

Bamboo Pro or Tri $2,695

As the title states... this bicycle is genuine bamboo! Crazy, huh? Craig Calfee said that bamboo dampens vibrations better than carbon fiber which reduces biker fatigue.

Wow, that's weird, so Thanx for the info, but you consider that the Calfee said has scientifically proof?

I attended a lecture by Craig Calfee (which is where I took the film footage of the bike). Mr. Calfee talked about all of the research that he was doing regarding bamboo and carbon fiber. Mr. Calfee is a bike designer and builder, so I do look at him as a person who knows what he's talking about.
Mr. Calfee also commented, during his lecture, that bamboo is slightly heavier than carbon fiber... so that is a downside.
