The curly maple is beautiful, but I could never bring myself to ride it,
it would have to be hung on the wall.

And anyway, I have 5 bikes now and its getting diffilcult to justify more...

My experience with windsurfing equipment has been that once the
pile gets big enough that nobody else in the house notices
additions, you're home free.

That's totally true. Even I've lost track of my bikes at this point; my
lovely and patient wife has no chance at all.

When people ask me how many bikes I have, I can no longer compose a
reasonable answer,

wood frame but carbon stays??? pointless. and the frame could be
lighter with laminates since they offer better strength-to-weight ratio.

I make do with only 5, since I also have a tadpole trike.

If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the precipitate.

Those look really nice. I toyed with the idea of wood frames about 10
years ago... but only plywood... not hogged out solid wood. I can't
believe that these would hold up at those weights. The fibers of a
tree lie in a line so they are good in bending, but poor in torsion...
and there is a lot of torsion in a bike frame.

Ah! See, you got the same problem as me, which is an odd number of
wheels, now that really grates.
