Bamboo Frame Bikes

A bit pricey I'd say. $475 (£290) for road or mountain bike frames, and more than $900 (£550) for a finished bike. Even though someone in the article is quoted "The only criticism I've had is that they might be too cheap."
Can't see them catching on since you can get a discount store bike for less than $100.
A novelty none the less.
