H Plus Son Archetype - Shimano Dura Ace wheelset

You may have already seen these wheels on the latest build of my Renovo R1 bike, but for some reason I forgot the take some pictures of the wheels on their own up until now.

The wheels feature H Plus Son's beautiful 23mm wide polished Archetype rims, ultra smooth Dura Ace 25th anniversary hubs and snowflake spoke lacing.

Renovo R1 wooden bike project, part 13: new wheels


In case you are wondering if low tubular rim with tan tubulars look good on every bike, the answer is yes!

I got a chance to buy a pair of Tune Mig Mag / Ambrosio Montreal tubulars wheels with Vittoria Corsa Evo CX tires glued on (prototypes from Rabobank) that I plan to use in a couple of races I have planned for this spring. This will be my first hands on experience with tubular tires, so I am really looking forward to it.

Here are some pics of the bike in it's new setup. Enjoy!

Sanomagic wooden bikes and parts

Sanomagic makes very special bike frames, but not nearly as nice as Renovo. What sets them apart from Renovo though is that they do all wooden bike, including forks, stems, handlebars, saddles and ... wheels! I might need to get a pair of these wheels someday.

Owen wooden bike

I am a sucker for wooden bike an this Owen bike styled like a Softride Rocket is no exeception. All it need is a Gilles Berthoud Galibier saddle and it would be perfect!

Wooden saddle anyone?

Just came across this very special saddle made of wood. According to the guy who purchased it is anything but comfortable, but he reckoned it was due to the shape and not due to the fact it is wood. The shape looks a lot like a Selle Italia SLR, the one with padding, whereas they probably should have gone with the shape of the SLR C64, the carbon version.
