    The price will come down to meet with demand. Bamboo is very auspicious, i give this concept the Speedfast thumbs up.

    Why would anyone who is serious in cycling buy a wooden bike other than for it being a novelty on its own?
    A wooden frame with a 200+lbs rider doing 35miles downhill and hitting a dent or a bump, how safe is that?
    The weakest point i assume would be the joints and when i hear about wood glue used to bind them together my hairs are raising.I understand bamboo its super strong but never the less not as strong as any steel or aluminum welded frame would ever be, at least at the joints .Plus the price doesn't seem to be particularly competitive either, so much for helping out the third world economy .They probably have them built for next to nothing and have them sold in the US the same or more of the price of a steel bike making a killing.

    the idea of 'helping out the third world economy' is just an idea to make us feel less guilty that we are directly benefiting from exploitation of third world countries... media pretends 'we' are helping them out while 'we' are actually constantly fucking them over... it's like greenwash, but err, different. brownwash?

    Angeleyes and SBB are sitting in the sun drinking a bland mixture of water and lime juice whilst agreeing with each other that bamboo bikes suck, and that the west is pillaging from 3rd world countries. As they come up with an idea to get Zimbabweans to make lead bikes for them to sell all over Europe, Spoodfast fires a nuclear warhead attached to a bamboo missile, it comes crashing down at an undisclosed location in Birmingham. Kaboom.
