Portland, Oregon's Revovo hardwood bicycle was described by one tester as "the best ride of my life." With all the hype in the bike industry I took this with a grain of salt. But I'd sure like to ride one of these if and when they appear.

The Hardwood Bicycle

Hi Gordon,
ReplyDeleteActually, he used the word 'memorable', not 'best'. He was referring to the overall feel of the bike. Not hype tho, he did say it, and he loved the ride, as have many others. His was just the most 'memorable' quote:)
As a one-man shop, I'm not sure I'm qualified to be included in the 'bike industry' yet, but I'm trying, in a leisurely sort of way.
One thing you may rely on tho, I won't use hype of any sort.
You're welcome to ride one anytime you're in Portland and I'm betting you'll like it too.

Ken,
ReplyDeleteRight, it was "memorable," not best. The photos certainly are memorable too. In fact, I've never seen a more beautiful bike frame. Have you settled on a selling price?
You're on for the test ride, next time I'm in Portland. Many thanks for the kind offer.
