BTW, had I been able to test ride a Renovo and found it acceptable, I wood (sorry) have bought one. It wood (sorry again) have been a real pleasure to win a few A grade vets races on a bicycle with a frame made from wood. -- JS. |

I drooled over the photographs of those. But they didn't make a model capable of taking a 60x622 Big Apple, which is my minimum requirement. |

They nearly got there ;-) http://www.renovobikes.com/display/S...=1306709517258 I guess you'd be after a model with horizontal dropouts for the single gear with geared hub? Hmm, then there's the rack and mud guards to consider. -- JS. |

Be a shame to cover the wood with mudguards and a rack. I suspect they sell their bikes to people who have many bikes and ride the Renovo four or five times a year when the weather is absolutely perfect. -- AJ |

You can't weld it. But you can glue it. Nb. Metal can also be glued, e.g. Windcheetah Speedy, Kabuki Submariner. As Sky Yaeger noted, "Had we invented steel yesterday, people would find it amazing". It has only been in the last 20 years or so that welding has been commonly used for high-end steel bicycles. The real way to make a strong wooden frame is to grow the wood in a bicycle shape. Don't laugh, shipwrights have been doing it for years, selecting tree sections naturally in the right shape. I've seen where some furniture makers actually train saplings on forms. Glued wood laminates can have very good mechanical properties (ditto on the Mosquito example), oft-maligned plywood can be very high tech stuff. Organics have a place in engineering materials, ever more in a sustainable world. I've built several small boats in the last few years with wood (mostly ply), epoxy and a bit of glass cloth. The technique is more flexible than welding since you can add strength and material just where you need it (similar to CF layups). Wood is a natural composite material which can be further modified with the introduction of some synthetics. |
