Wood/Metal Bike Prototype

The idea behind this project was to create a piece with the view of sustainability. This is a reclaimed/modified bike, more to come soon(er or later ha)!

Anyways..

Here's the bike all glued up, with a finish, and all the components on...

I ornamented the stem to add a bit of class
These were horizontal dropouts that i cut and re welded to be track ends

It rides fairly well, my only complaint is the rake of the fork is very dramatic... so I might go back and fix that. Overall I think it turned out pretty well.

I'm planning on continuing to refine and build these bikes... I'm viewing this bike as a prototype of future builds so expect to see more!

Also I plan to start producing handlebars of various bends/laminates for sale... I'm wicked excited!
