29 inch Bamboo Bike in Utah

This is me riding a 29er Bamboo XC bike down a line at the old rampage site, in Virgin, Utah. It's from a company called boo cycles, they use carbon and bamboo (yes, like the plant) for their tubing. The owner showed up there to meet with Nick, and said it was strong enough to survive Light FR...sounded like a challenge to me!

Cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm into this whole bambo thing, I'd love to make full sussers out of that! According to Calfee, a bamboo frame weighs the same as cro-mo, has better damping properties than carbon and ti, and is only slightly more flexy than steel. Game ON!

Yeah it did, same bike is still being ridden by it's owner. Surprised me. I was expecting a catastrophic failure on the second drop
