Around a hundred frames later, Calfee had finally built a bamboo bike frame he could believe in. His verdict: The vibration absorption of the bamboo frame was better than that provided by a carbon fiber frame. "The bamboo bikes are a much smoother ride," he says. He also found that the bike had impressive impact resistance and was tougher than carbon fiber and less prone to fracturing. These results were confirmed after the bamboo frames were tested at the EFBe bicycle testing laboratory in Germany.

You need a complete model or would a spare part do?

[frau kaleun]

Depends. Can the spare part change the oil in my car and sit through a chick flick without whining incessantly?

And by "chick flick," I mean Gladiator.
