Morning Wood(en bike...)

[totti]

Spotted this in Totnes at the weekend, I'm not sure if this is classed at retro, but suppose the only way to tell is to saw it in half and count the rings....

It looked like it had a fixed single speed, rather him than me!

And still the forks are on backwards, was it box (crate) delivered from Halfords?

Frightening that he must have paid some decent wedge for that, and yet hasn't realised that the forks are on wrong...The steering must be terrible and there's some bad toe overlap going on there, too.

Still a BSO, really, but quite an achievement by someone. Belt drive, too...

A fine blog collection of wooden bikes here. My favourite, Euclid brakes/gears:

All the best,

Renovo wooden frames are lovely.

Agreed. Liking this one, seems like they are all hybrids to some extent.

The Renovo bikes are the shizzle - I'm in NZ and they just released a special NZ model......mmmmmm one of those has to go on the bucket list!

surprisingly they recon the renovo's ride superbly

I want a Renovo ..... might be awhile before I can afford one though

That depends on whether he just pushes it everywhere or actually rides it sometimes.

I certainly wouldn't fancy riding it one handed, with a hot coffee in the other :shock:

As much as I love to see alternatives to the norm, I can't help thinking - what a try-hard knob.
