Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wood Frame Bikes

Today I met the gentleman who owns this company Connor Wood Bicycles -- Wood bikes from Denver Colorado. | Connor wood bikes handbuilt in Denver Colorado. Bicycles like the woody 29er scorcher made from steam bent, kevlar reinforced ash wood. A great wood bike!
These bikes are extremely well made and feel great. He currently does not make a road bike but we talked a long time about him creating one and me being his guinea pig.

Although most may not have ridden one I just curious as to some of your thoughts on a wood frame bike.

I have long coveted a Renovo bike. They are a work of art.
