Project
This project is an exploration of a new concept of wood bicycles.
Has an entirely wooden frame and has only metal parts in the connectors of the wheels, saddle and pedals.
I have recycled an abandoned mountain bicycle and found some other parts in order to make a more environmentally friendly bike.
Some caracteristics of this bicycle are:
- Wooden frame bike
- Front and back LED lights embedded into the wood frame
- Inside space for storage
- Detachable plywood plates
- Detachable plywood plates
- User Friendly
Restaured parts from abandoned MTB :
- rims;
- rear derailleur;
- head tube, seat tube, bottom bracket tube;
- drop outs;
Donated parts:
- Road Handlebar and Stem;
- Seat Post;

New parts:
