Wooden Frames - Anyone out there have one??

Out of curiosity, anyone have a wooden frame such as a Renovo or a Perera? I swear I saw another maker that had an aero track frame, but can't seem to come up with a name. Just hunting around. GP

These folks had a booth at the FreshGrass Festival at Mass MoCA a few years back. https://www.sylvancycles.com/Home.html. I’d bet they’d build a track bike for you.

I had a customer that had one from a well known builder that no longer exists. He had a small crack at the seat tube that was always being monitored. Not an uncommon problem at all apparently. The old staff of said company were giving him advice on it. I don't think there's really any benefit to it, but if you have money it's...cool? You get to ride a thing very few people have ever or will ever ride. They're not *that* light, not *that* stiff, but apparently soak up chatter very similarly to carbon.
