Bamboo bikes, odd, linky

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

The bikes look great. I reckon there's a future in manufactured bamboo-fibre mat and fabric for epoxy lay-ups. They make bamboo socks and stuff now so someone in China must be almost geared up to make it now.
