Pereira - Wood Frame

[tskubi]

Something different.

First steps.
Some epoxy and fibers... a little bit more natural than those widely used here with our carbon fiber based frames & peripherals..
You have guessed, weight won't be the major concern with this bike build.


Geometry.


We will use freixo, an ash tree apparently very resistant to shocks & impacts.






more to come soon.

(if you can write in english it is better for my understanding, thanks)

Looks terriffic!

Here are in between steps









While waiting for the frame to arrive (last weekend), brake just came in.


more details :



lever details,



Lever looks more fragile than it is in hand, all feels stiff & well adjusted.
my hand looks huge on this picture, it is not in fact... the lever is tiny.


160mm discs :


Let's assume they will allow a fantastic brake feeling, there is 2 x 30g to gain here..

BFO pads,


Alloy bits & pieces,

front 100mm & back 1700mm,


to sum up,
171.2+13+3.7 = 187.9g up front.
182.8+13+3.7 = 199.5g at the back.
looking at the levers, all I can tell is, they will only allow me to fall once before they will get damaged.
let's hope they last.

The long awaited detailled pictures,


frame,



bb,






seat stays,





head,



seat collar,


legs,

How have you bent the seat stays? I hope the head tube will last. Looks thin to me.

 

[Joobxx]

here is anywhere a bar made by Wood too( i think by an Titan member "BURBA" here in this Forum), thats very nice to your Frame, ......

 

[general-easy]

Wow, haven't expected that this will result in such an nice frame.

I wouldn't be afraid about this, it is reinforced with alloy tube & glued within the wood.
Only time will tell





This is from yesterday, first test ride.

Looks very nice and well done!

Seems you have some ideas about wood and its processing with those wooden dowels and milling works. Always fantastic to watch.

What about the overall wooden frame weight? How does it feel on the trails? Comfort? Stiffness?

Hey Famagoer, thanks

I will shortly write a full review on my facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/thomas.skubiszewski
This setup is only for testing purposes, Berd spokes wheels from CEC are too soft to enjoy the frame.
I slowly gather all the final shiny bits & pieces, will publish within 2 weeks.
stay tuned

The frame looks really great - like the woodwork of a slim and fast clipper in the golden days of sailing ships. The cross reminds me of the sails on Columbus' Santa Maria. Really beautiful.

Last parts arrives slowly home, here KA engineering's jewelry.
Final setup of the bike is not far away

Spiderless Cinch 32T & 34T

there you can see the offset's differences. Maybe I should have put them upside down for better wiev.

beautifull Eagle pulleys, 6 double spokes,

looks great! seem´s like your job has to do with wood?

the inner seattube seems quite massive. what´s the wall thickness of the tube?

not really, Manel Pereira is the artist

Beautiful frame! And those string spokes really add to that. Where'd you get them? I wasn't aware of any string/textile spokes that could be bought already.
