Greenstar's bamboo bike at a friendly price

Published July 2, 2015

MINNEAPOLIS (BRAIN) — Greenstar Bikes' Ecoforce 1 is a stylish singlespeed bamboo bicycle priced for everyone.

The frame weighs less than 4 pounds (full bike weight is about 20 pounds) thanks to the bamboo tube sections and Greenstar's recycled 6061 aluminum lugs. The reversible rear hub easily converts to fixie duty.
