Does Anyone Know Anything About Bamboo Bicycles.... [View all]

I picked up an estate sale find vintage bamboo bike. Now many of the parts on the bike are bamboo - some areas of the bike are wrapped with bamboo over what looks to be a traditional bicycle frame. It has 26" wheels of traditional metal. It has modern handle bar brakes. I bought it because I've never before seen nor heard of a bamboo bike. It looks old or vintage - though I have no way of dating it.

What I'm curious to know is did I get ripped off and this is just a fake reproduction of a bamboo bike or did I make a smart purchase and there is value to it.

Any comments would be appreciated.
