I thought this discussion of bamboo frames at Kitebuilder might be of interest to some of you.
Mar 9, 2013 at 6:52 am #1963393Daryl — are you going to use bamboo instead of CF on your next backpack?

I might but have no plans, currently, to do so.
It would be one of those "just for fun" projects to see how it works. The carbon fiber tubing frames work so well there is no practical incentive for me to go the bamboo route.

And I assume a much better carbon footprint than carbon tubing.
By the way, a female friend of mine once called me "Mr Fussypants". Maybe we are related?
