The boxes in the picture are labeled: N.W. (Net Weight) 21 KGS. That's like 46+ lbs! (Besides, the main reason to outsource the manufacture of _anything_ to Taiwan is to get discounts on the production of mass quantities) My guess would be it's raw bamboo. The Science Channel's "Invention Nation" piece on their Bamboo frames showed their in-house manufacturing process. BTW, I love the carbon ribbon wrap on that Bamboo tandem! Post Extras
