paul you are laggin mate. You started the other thread on this too - http://www.londonfgss.com/thread10891.html
Calfee has made some, and is encouraging development of the concept in Africa aswell.
There are some DIY ones around on internet too. One guy has been MTBing for a while on his.

Yeah, I should have added to the original. This was a new site I've not found before

Will you be adding one to the stable?

I'm just that offended at the thought of people feeling the need to cut down a tree to make a bike when it isn't going to be better... it's like buying a Toyota Prius...it isn't actually environmentally friendly...it just pretends it is...

Bamboo grows back super quick and there's loads of the stuff. A lot less damaging to the planet than creating steel tubes.

But that don't mean I'd want my bike made of the stuff!

I wouldn't worry about them using a bit of a bamboo bush to make a bike - some species can grow a couple of feet a day - it's a fairly easily renewable resource and one that should be used more
