I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make the flexy comment. 
He did fill the wood with polyurethane foam to make it stiffer. I wonder how much. I like the look of it a lot.

It freekin' looks COOL!!!!
Wood is remarkably strong for it's weight when it's not subject to shear forces... I still don't think I'd trust a bamboo frame though.
bamboo is hella strong it just bends alot
in china they use bamboo to make scafolding(sp) when makin buildings
a little googling turned up this article on Calfee's experimenting with bamboo as a bike material...
google is the greatest, except for there $300 dollar stock price
Hey, what kind of shock is that?
eh.... huh?? 
sweet. I want a rigid ss set-up please.

I'd love to get a chance to ride a bamboo frame.
It would be hella cool to have a regular metal frame air brush painted like that...

Here's the Giro helmet that comes with.
Doesn't look like it's ventilated that well.
Hey N8 i heard the president was interested in buying one but he never found the time to shop for one.
Looks cool, interesting idea...just don't ride it in china otherwise a panda bear might gank your bike for food.
how long did it take you to make that?
