Stay away from bamboo it looks great soft as ****. Drop something it dents can not be sanded out as surface is different from depth. I had it and it looks great until you do something to it. Also it slowly goes to dust, as it dries out. Was in to bamboo a bit, learned a bunch of stuff and china like any thing it ships out is not in best interest of user. Bamboo needs to be harvested in the 5 to 7 year range and now china is harvesting in 4 to 6 years and it being closer to 4. Also the bamboo mite is resistant to everything but a toxic cyanide flush. I had a set of bamboo utensils that the mites ate there way out of bamboo but could not out of sealed bag that had come from china. Oh well, not likely to do anything with it anyway. Daughter put slate flooring in her living room. Pretty, but not level from one tile to the next and a bitch to clean. -- Cheers, Bev Sign on restroom hand-dryer: "Push button for a message from your congressman." |

Not relevant to floors, but Calfee makes high-end bamboo bike frames, both road and mountain. Nice- looking frame: http://www.calfeedesign.com/bamboo.htm They claim that the bamboo is more crash-resistant than carbon, which I guess I can believe. Warranty is 10 years, though, instead of Calfee's usual 25. I'd definitely get one if I had the space for it. Dave |

That said, I also think bike frames like car bodies are made to crumple, because there are too many spot welds for Chrome Moly and Titanium frames and the glue for Carbon fibre probably isn't that great to keep the bike together. *(I am guessing, that the bamboo bikes use glue for the joints, and the warranty is more for the glue's duration) Car frames crumple to absorb energy and not transmit it to the occupants. That doesn't seem applicable for a bike? This of course after 15 seconds of careful consideration. god! Won't winter ever end????? I WANT SUMMER!!! At least I get a taste next week. |
