In Response To: Other: Next project *PIC* (Damian Wentzel)

: I recently came across a company by the name of 'Renovo Bikes'
: based in San Francisco and it gave me an itch to make my next
: project a wooden framed bike. After all, everyone with a strip
: kayak needs a matching bike for their car roof right? Anyway, i
: know as little about bike building (or serious road bikes in
: general) as i did when i started building my first kayak (night
: heron, pics to post soon). Does anyone know a good source for
: information on bike building such as this forum for yaks?
: Any/all info to help me kick start this project is greatly
: appreciated. Check out their website, simply
: beautiful/functional artwork. http://www.renovobikes.com/

Wow...
I keep thinking about building a hybrid frame like the bamboo bikes. I'd make hollow cedar tubes and skin them in fiberglass, connecting them with carbon.
With these guys though, the frame is all wood. Not just a core. They use all hardwoods like hickory and walnut. Cool.
Looks like I have a future project as well... Keep us posted.
