Really great idea. I can see there being some demand for these. I wonder if they could carry the idea over to other parts on the bike. I know the loads on the front fork make it tough to build out of anything but metal, but using hemp for the seat cover, and possibly using tires made from recycled rubber could carry the idea a bit further.
