That's awesome... I love when people push the limits of engineering.
How 'bout a bike made of pasta now?
I dont imagine the front rim will last long with the rim brake, pretty neat though.
Did the first proto kinda get you a bit nervous or disappointed to only then get wow'd with the final product ... awesomeness
I was hoping he was going to ride it down the stairs
hahah!, me too!
.... or once it got wet, it'd go all soggy???
I guess the bit where he puts the fish shaped piece under water shows he waterproofs it?
I thought he water proofed it also
and it's probably more than just a veneer, but if it's not, and maybe it got scratched, just like paint gets scratched off a metal frame bike, then maybe it might go all soggy around that scratch. Just saying....
