I grew up surrounded by woods of various species and ages and a large period of my childhood was spent in, up, or around trees. I love how, as a construction material, it is so versatile with an organic quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been sold on it as a material for bikes however. Prior to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodalps.com\/\">Woodalps<\/a> hardtail I&#8217;ve found wooden bikes to be heavy and visually unforgiving. Woodalps have managed to make a wooden framed bike that is neither of these things. The way the &#8216;tubes&#8217; all flow together is beautiful and, through clever engineering, it weighs not much more than a standard alloy hardtail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"974\" src=\"http:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-012-4k-1300x974.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-012-4k-1300x974.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-012-4k-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-012-4k-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-012-4k-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-012-4k-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-012-4k-2048x1535.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"974\" src=\"http:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-005-4k-1300x974.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-005-4k-1300x974.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-005-4k-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-005-4k-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-005-4k-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-005-4k-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adamgasson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AG-Bespoked-Woodalps-005-4k-2048x1535.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographed for <a href=\"https:\/\/bespoked.cc\/\">Bespoked <\/a>in Dresden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love wood.
