I thought bamboo frames had been around for a few years now?

Right. I want a photoshopped pic of a panda eating a bike on here ASAP, preferably captioned "NOM NOM NOM" or similar.

I rode a bamboo MTB round the test track at the NEC cycle show last week, was very twangy.

Fixed it for the BBC ....
"Co-designer xxxx said the idea of using bamboo started out when I googled Calfees bamboo bike from 5 years ago but Im going to say its just a possible exercise for the centre's students to test alternative materials.

Apologies for posting old news then (apart from the panda bit)

Hounslow: is it twangy in a good or bad way?

The moral is never post anything about cycling from the BBC, they havent a clue... apologies to dear old Hugh...
