Met a guy a couple of years ago who'd done similar with bamboo. It was very belt and braces, he carried a ball of bailing twine in his pocket to make roadside repairs, but it rode very comfortably. Even the saddle used bamboo - metal frame with slithers of banboo running back to front, attached with springs...looked like a torture device but was quite nice.
