The Renovo Badash 29er Wood Bike

[RexFuzzle]

The question should be if it is going to fit in my trunk?

[Hairy]

The designer was recently interviewed by a very prominent cycling site and he had rather interesting info RE the design and choice of material. Apparently the use of wood makes the bike feel real to him and he really becomes one with the bike when riding.

 

Pic from interview attached.

I am sure an experienced rider would have to hammer down a trail and nail it hard before it wood break.

A man in a bar, after several drinks, began bragging that he could identify any type of wood by its smell only.

 

The patrons of the bar decided to test him. The man was blindfolded and presented with several pieces of wood.

 

First they tried maple. He smelled it and said, "That's maple."

 

They then tried ebony; he again smelled it and named the wood correctly.

 

He did this with ever piece of wood they brought before him.

 

The bartender then got an idea to trick him.

 

And they took one of the waitresses and put her crotch up to his nose. He sniffed for a while.

 

"Boy," he said "this is difficult, flip that board over and let me smell the other side."

 

So they turned the waitress and put her ass near his nose.

 

He took a big whiff, started to smile and said, "You guys can't fool me! That is the kuk house door from a tuna boat!"

" I thought it was a MoreWOOD Stump humper????"

I must say I keep coming back to this thread to look at Badash. I may have to sell a steyr to fund a frame! I think it is beautiful to say the least.

Nice and amazed by the workmanship, but not exactly my choice of frame.

[Hairy]

At last, some civilised hubbers.

 

Yes the workmanship is something special and out would be interesting to try out the frame.
