I reckon all those 'carbon fibre' bikes everyone's been paying top dollar for are actually this.

Came across this today on the Economist website http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2012/11/cardboard-bicycles?spc=scode&spv=xm&ah=9d7f7ab945510a56fa6d37c30b6f1709
9kg bike that can hold a 220kg rider!? Sounds almost too good to be true, but if someone does decide to put some money behind this and it proves viable, i'll be buying one ASAP!
Seriously, a bike made from cardboard.
Costs about £10 in materials and looks like a proper bike!
Light, durable, waterproof and green.
Check out the video here: Izhar cardboard bike project on Vimeo

I see that the concept of a cardboard bike was mentioned on here some years back but this is different.
Thoughts on the viability of this?
