    Beautiful bikes, but I don't think I'd want someone's ass planted on me in the next life.

    3.5-4.5lb for a wood frame, i would have thought more like 10lb.
    amazing i want one

    Wood is an extremely strong material, a naturally growing composite. Knowing how to make it work is an inspiring challenge for a craftsman.

    Gridplan, it depends on the ass. I've seem some mighty, mighty fine asses on bikes.

    Not with my luck. It would end up being this guy:

    fat cyclist

    With that said, wooden frames are quite cool. There is a craftsman in Japan who makes wooden frames that, if money were no object, I'd buy in a heartbeat:

    It's in reference to the OP's desire to be reincarnated as a wooden bike. I say no thanks. You could find yourself being ridden by the Lampre guy.

    Oh, okay. I couldn't tell you. It's just a picture I've seen floating around bikeforums.net for a while. It's still kind of shocking to me.
