GNU is local business workshop that manufacture unique hardwood design. Firstly concentrated on making hardwood bicycle frames but also offering other peaces of furniture unique in its design and quality. Wood as bike frame material- YES :)
Wood might not be you’re first pick when it comes to bike frame material but assemble
d right, wood bike frame is as sturdy and as strong as aluminum or steel ones. After all wood is basically carbon and it is in fibers , so its natures carbon fiber. Quality
Wood is a material that transfers far less vibrations than other materials. It's 3600 vibration per second ,comparing to steel 5000/sec, aluminum 5300/sec and titanium 6000 /sec and not to mention carbon fibers as much as 15000/sec , shows you just how much dampening effect wood will provide for a smooth and comfy ride. The result is that it runs smooth almost like on rails dampening vibrations not only by it's construction but by material it self. Only the best glues are used in manufacturing GNU bike frames and only the best multi-layer polyurethane finishes are applied providing you’re bike with protection from weather conditions as well as from scratches. Treated right you’re GNU bike will be a heirloom piece
Design
The fact that it’s a bike made of wood, makes this into something you will not get bored with any time soon. It’s appearance is described as eye catcher, unique and always as a good conversation starter :)
