Finally had a free afternoon and all of the parts around the garage to finish up Kathryn's Bamboo Bike. It ended up being a 19.5 lb single speed - not too shabby for any material. Parts were all salvaged from other projects: Bontrager bar / stem / seat / track wheels. Salsa seatpost and collar. Shimano brakes with Paul levers. Blue King headset (this thing has been on three bikes now). I'm impressed by how it rides - smooth without being flexy, like a carbon bike before the days of really stiff bottom brackets and tapered headtubes. And it sure is pretty.
