Agree. I wouldn't buy a wood bike. Unless it was to hang on the wall

Wood's got potential for making bikes, it's a really great material - springy, resilient, and even light. I'm sure there's ways of making very good bikes from wood - bamboo / carbon has been done (although technically bamboo is a grass) - but none of those appear to be examples of anything but making "cool" "bikes" for beardy hipster @!#)&!@${&^NO SIGNAL

I think maybe there’s a reason they stopped making them from wood very quickly. Niche, trendy, expensive. Perfect for the modern consumer.
