Bamboo is the new fiberglass?

27. November 2006

French helmet arteest, Roof, has taken renewable to the next step with Bamboo helmets! They should be available in ’07 to our friends overseas. I think it’s really cool. Sorta what you’d expect the professor to make Gilligan so he can safely put around the island on his coconut oil burning scooter. Prices yet to […]

If they came with transparent TIRES, that would be another story and would fit perfectly on […]

lambretta Originally uploaded by Barnabella. I always thought it would be cool to paint up a scooter in an old WWII scheme… maybe turn a Ruckus into a old, OD Green, army messenger bike or as captured here and shared by Barnabella, a Lambretta with a menacing Flying Tigers style. I’m a little leery of […]
