It's perfectly doable.

Is it rideable? No.

yeah i have experience with boats and i am going to use fiberglass/epoxy, and to tell you the truth it can be really light but incredibly strong too, i bet this sounds alot more reasonable now, but still really redicuals i know, its not like im gunna hit a 20 ft drop, if it doesnt work it doesnt work, its just gunna be a fun project:P

That would work, but it will still break like a toothpick if this guy does it.

You could make some realy wild looking Cruser/Town bikes to ride around on.

It could work, I just don't advise doing any jumps on it.

The only reason I would make a foam frame is for a pre production prototype to see what it would look like before I take it too metal. Like they do with cars.
