We've done the bamboo bike. Have we done the cardboard one?

Looks single-speed, “stronger than carbon fiber”, weighs 9kg, and costs a tenner to build. Oh, and it’s waterproof too!

How much does a “normal” bike cost to build?

that’s bloody genius 😀
the man deserves a nobel prize (for engineering something that many people around the world will be able to use).

How much does a “normal” bike cost to build?

if its as much as £10 I’d be surprised

Serious misinterpretation of those brake levers…

Only the chain and brakes aren’t cardboard? Really? Tyres? Bearings? Chainrings/sprocket/freehub/stuff that comes into contact with the chain?

I call bullsh….

Keep up at the back. Video by about the fella that makes them was on either here or Pinkbike Monday videos a few weeks back. Hugely impressive IMHO but utterly pointless.

Hmmmmmm… Interesting.

I’ve checked the date and it seems we’re nowhere near April…

It’s got the wrong size wheels on it.

If he painted it in carbon colours, I’d be more interested. As is.. And that kids too old for a dummy right??
