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.

lock that up in a city centre and someone would be through the top tube with a hacksaw and away!

I really wish he hadn't used a hideous abomination for the rear derailleur when the rest of it is so nice, but it is really cool!
