I am looking forward to buy a Brand new wooden bicycle frames after Christmas of 2004. Where online can I buy wooden bicycle frame at? Do bicycle manufactures still make wood bicycles and bicycle frames?

Thanks,

You can still get rosewood rims (as used of track bikes of old), I think they are made in Denmark.
Bike manufacturers have never made bikes out of wood. You can get a bamboo frame from Vietnam, and a wooden copy of the Lotus carbon bike, but these are more for display.

Richard Benson at http://www.hardwoodgallery.com/ has sometimes carried wood framed bikes. He might be able to help you out.

If you find one, you can put one of these (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/real-man.html) saddles on it.

May I ask why? The looks, the coolness factor?
