Who the HELL made that ******* monstrosity?

 

[laxman2001]

I'd ride it.

 

[louisssss]

what a pos, not waterproof, easy to crack, unable to be cleaned, can't take too many bumps

But look at the smooth cable routing!

just put some Thompson's water sealant on it.

That's a prototype, the production model will use cyprus wood so no worries about water rot, staining, or fungus

Just because it's "innovative" it doesn't make it practical.

Wooden bikes are nothing new.
I like it just because the builder is trying something a bit unusual. Obviously I haven't got a clue if it will work great or not. Looks like it might be a bit wide in the knee area.

*** I cannot weld but some time ago, I was thinking that I might be able to hack together a road bikish frame out of timber, or maybe a recumbent ***

If you could put a proper seatpost on it, I'd actually like it.

Cool, cable housing needs some routing clean up though.

Yep, nothing new here, but they used Hickory, and one piece of it at that.....

Craig, those old-school classics are way cool...but that other piece of Trailer Park Technology don't cut it!

Please good people,
Have a little respect for Pinocchio's bike.

Here's an old one I saw at a museum:

built by a nine year old kid in 1890. He could not buy a bike but there was timber and some hand tools around the house...

*** and of course you knew that bamboo is a great bike material, especially if you can get it to grow to the right shapes. Just ask Craig Calfee or some others who are doing that

Check this one out, some people just hung up on form instead of function:madman:

 

[laxman2001]

well. it's not always about function.

 

[boomn]

well. it's not always about function.

Yep, I don't know people miss that so often. I seriously doubt someone spent hours and hours carving, sanding and staining that cruiser bike because he thought it would function better.

 

[billee]

The springer fork and floor shifter are way cool.

 

[bankofdad]

Oh great now people will post which gives a better ride steel,aluminum,wood

 

[f3rg]

If weight could be kept within reason, I'd love to ride a wooden frame. It'd be a b!tch picking out the perfect stain, though.
