Wow, that looks like a wooden version of the old 90's Zipp beam bikes. I always thought those were "SO COOL", still do. Not sure I'd like to have a road bike where the saddle is bouncing all around though.

I like the wooden version. I'd lose the checkerboard patterns on the wheels though. That thing needs/deserves some Hed Tri-Spokes.

Agreed. The hipster wheels ruin it for me.

The wheels are ugly.

I have no idea how it rides.

The woodworking and trim/fixings look great to me. Time and effort has clearly been invested.
