Bruce, I respect your point of view. Mine is a bit different. Although I do not want a bamboo frame I can think of getting one simply because it is such an interesting material to make a bike of. Who would have imagined that a natural material could compete with steel, aluminum and carbon fiber? That said, I do think the bamboo that Craig uses is such a strong bamboo and is clear coated so that I am about certain it can stand up to weather without a problem, bamboo grows in tropical countries after all.

Many owners may be very pleased to ride such a unique bike. Some folks will buy an expensive watch, not because it is a better time-keeper, but because it has the appeal that any fine jewelry has for some folks. A bamboo bike is a work of art, no two being identical. That has to count for a lot with some people.
