Move Over Carbon Fiber: Wood!

"Good Morning. Check out this killer wooden bike." - Lance Armstrong on his Twitter.

Arndt Menke thinks your next bicycle should be a wooden one. Paying strict attention to the flex and compress properties of wood and it's affect on bicycle strength and stiffness, the designer has designed a full-wood bike frame that looks rad, is supposedly more comfortable, and more powerful than a carbon fiber counterpart.

And the kicker?

The frame weighs only 2kg (under 5 lbs)

Everyone: Meet Charlie

Charlie is sad.
Why, you ask?
Today, May 11th, Charlie's MacBook was stolen from our shop. We have a vague description of the culprit, and the local police doing something, but keep your eyes peeled. Who knows which pawn shop the thing will end up at.

It's black, and has Devo/Pikachu on the desktop.
