New frame - coming along nicely.
Made from 'woodanium' alloy which adds a degree of flex while retaining strength in a very lightweight tubeset. It's slack and long as is todays fashion but you won't want to sit on it for long.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Yew kidding? I'm personally not the greatest fan of fat bikes. However, I do understand the appeal and understand why some people ride them but it's not for me.

You're messing right... surely you can't ride a woodanium bike with only one screw holding each for leg...
Looking good though

Being serious for a moment, which is unlike me.... can we play guess what the object is for?
I'm going to say it's a display stand for luggage? The slot in the 'saddle' looks like it's for a seatbag strap?

Nice work there by our elder leader sure to prove poplar now it’s out of the box. I did think of writing review but couldn’t aspen is furze’d. I’m sure by the end of the day someone may have rose to the challenge.

We need to get to the root of the problem here and perhaps branch out, most of the ‘jokes’ are very wooden. If you tried them in public you’d copse or just come across as a thicket.Ray Young wrote:As in "stand of trees". .BigdummySteve wrote:P.S. that’s a very nice stand stu

Silly question and forgive me for asking but why?
Is there a shortage of real bike frames?
