As we mentioned earlier in the week, our pal Fritz from Cyclelicio.us was just at the SF Bike Expo and he was kind enough to let us know about a few of the exhibitors our readers might be interested in.
At first sight, it seems like Masuelli is just another company hopping on the bamboo bandwagon. But the company actually has an interesting story. It was started as a sustainability project sponsored by the Argentinian government. Fritz writes:
The designer is an industrial engineer who’s been teaching classes on how to do this in Argentina for the past five years. His brother moved to America to go to college (Sacramento State) and has been selling these in the USA for five months now using California grown bamboo, and spec’ing California parts as much as possible.

Dudes, thanks for the link love. Danilo Masuelli is a super nice guy and really enthusiastic — a true believer in what he’s doing.
They are selling their bikes through thebikebiz.com now. You can get a much more diverse parts selection there.
