Im a big fan of handcrafted stuff and love the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into the build

I found a link he posted somewhere to his photobucket. check it out

That's pretty sweet. Looks like a lot of work went into.

Bamboo frames are starting to have some real world possibility.

I was gonna post about bamboo frames but somebody beat me to it. I saw a bamboo road bike online somewhere that looked fancy. That MTB is awesome looking though. Love the brown

i see some oppurtunities in both of these sell some bikes in poorer areas. you sell the components and a basic plan and let the buyer source, cut and put together the wood/bamboo bits.
