hate to shamelessly promote myself but I make bespoke bamboo bikes using natural bamboo. I was dissapointed when I saw the organic bikes as they were just old frame cut and used as lugs with some bionic looking bamboo tubing glued in
Calfee makes amazing bamboo bikes - google calfee design
I have made a fair few but am uselss at updating my website - www.therisingbikes.com
They ride sweet, are pretty light when made right and natural bamboo looks rad when its a bit out of line etc
I used to shape surfboards and used epoxy and polyester resin alot, I have recently been experimenting with a natural resin made from nut oil but can't quite get it right. Hemp fibre is not too bad to use either but you need loads of it for it to be half as strong as glass or carbon
