We've been discussing the idea of producing handbuilt wooden bikes for a while and the time came to actually build one. The result is astonishing! The first one is a compact single speed roadbike made of ash with a purpleheart centre stripe. It weighs in at 19.5 lbs and goes like a rocket. The ride is like nothing else - stiff, yet somehow compliant with none of the buzz you get from carbon fibre. The next stage will be to adapt the process so we can build them to order.
