Recycling
Konga on the footsteps of Olli Erkkilä. And the result here looks in fact bit like a certain old Cannondale, doesn't it?

Wooden Riser Bars

Alex just sent me this cool photo of the wooden bars he's making:
"Sugar Maple, 2007. House blend and Tung oil finish.
16" wide
2" rise
4" grip
(fits 4 bolt stems only)"
The bars are made of 'reclaimed hardwoods' so they should be pretty ecological and everything. I'm really digging the way they look, very classy. Nice parts for that sunday bike of yours, maybe?
