Can you give them a call for me too please? just breaking out the cheese strings now...

 

[wobbler]

NO! Cheese straws, he said "straws". Cheese strings will go all gooey. People will think there is something wrong with you using cheese strings.

 

[Panter]

Dammit you're right, I thought it was a bit flexy.

Ah well, back to the drawing cheese board...

Could cheese strings be used under tension, for the spokes though?

Those chocolate lined wafer biscuits like straws would be more suitable as tubing, being hollow. Or canneloni for oversized tubes.

If it's an all out racer then you could have a peanut for the saddle, if it's a tourer then a marshmallow.

It occurs to me that the spoke problem might be avoided by cheating slightly and using jaffa cakes for the wheels, though the famous 'orangey bit' might cause a certain amount of wheel wobble at speed, if you got a hamster to ride it, for example...
