What do you make out of wood? Some say "furniture", others say "flooring". Some people can do no more with wood than use it for heating. However, very few people think of using it to make bicycle frames. The small Spanish company Cyclowood belongs to this exclusive circle and has been manufacturing wooden bicycle frames since 1943.
Four models, including one mountain bike
The company from Vilela now has four different models with wooden frames. A retro bike, a city cruiser, a racing bike and a mountain bike. It goes without saying that we are particularly interested in the latter.
Equipment according to customer requirements
With its mountain bike, Cyclowood is responding to numerous customer requests. It rolls on either 29-inch or 27.5-inch wheels. The customer has the say when it comes to the equipment. Cyclowood promises that everyone will get the equipment they want. There are obviously no predefined model configurations. Alternatively, the frame is also available without equipment. The frame weight is between 1600 and 2300 grams depending on wheel size, size and type of wood. As prices are only available on request, the Cyclowood mountain bike is certainly not a bargain, but it is a real eye-catcher.
