      I think we have a winner! I checked the badge and it looks very similar. (although damaged) And yes the frame and the history seem to match up! 😁👍🏻 I can’t wait to tell my auntie! Thank you I didn’t expect to find anything out so fast. 🙏🏻
      I was thinking it might be a hand made 1 of a kind. But they made nearly 900 from what I just read. I wonder how many survived? 🙂

      Is this some kind of oak? 🤔 To be honest the idea of a wooden bicycle goes against the grain for me. 😉

    Amazing, and great condition. Looks like a real bicycle to me, not just display. But maybe shouldn't be ridden ! just in case :)

    Have to admire the craftsmanship, but I wouldn’t dare to ride it down a very steep and/or bumpy road. Interesting to have a bike which is more prone to termites than rust 😄

    Nice bike! I build too wooden bicycle frames, but using different construction technics that makes lighter and strong. This kind of construction make the frame very flexy.

    • @reginaldscot165
      @reginaldscot165  2 місяці тому

      Yes it looks very flexible, I’m surprised if the forks can even support my weight. It was probably designed for a half starving Italian survivor of WW2, so the average weight of the rider was probably about 50kg. 😂

      @@reginaldscot165 I'm 165cm tall and 44kg, less than WW2 survivors...😆😆😆😆 To make strong structures in wood you need use tubes or some sort of C or I beam. Solid wood will be flexy, I only use solid wood on my seat post.

    You're going out on a limb there,Regi.
    Does that birch picture indicate the type of wood?
    Maybe hickory would give the bike a ti like spring...
    I did see a wooden bike in a museum here in N.Z,think it was English. They let me pick it up with gloves,it was heavy.
    There has been a few mtb made of bamboo on youtube.
    They were quite light wooden you know😁

    Reginald, I have found a Cinelli Nemo Tig steel frameset on sale here in UK. Thinking of buying it on the back of your feedback 👍

      As long as you are sure? Like I say, it’s not my favourite but it handles really well and if the price is right why not. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Don’t pay any more than 40% its original price in my opinion. 🙂

    I would examine the lamp for more information. The bike looks like it could be from 1900-20 maybe?

    • @reginaldscot165
      @reginaldscot165  2 місяці тому +1

      I guess by the components it’s 1940s. And someone just found it and it’s 1945, just after WW2. 🙂👍🏻
