perunamuusi Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It is one of the toughest mountain bike challenges in Europe; Trans-Alps - where competitors race more than four hundred miles and climb more than 21,000 meters. Two engineering lecturers from Oxford have just finished it - using bikes, made partly from bamboo. They are now hoping their design can be produced commercially. cool as fuck bikes http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14397027 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 There's a californian (?somewhere west coast USian) company that makes bamboo bikes, already commercialized the idea. I think they use more bamboo components too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
