Description

Build Your Own Wooden Bicycle!

“I’m a lifetime cyclist and have enjoyed riding in the US and Europe with family and friends.  I’m also a novice woodworker and love building things with my hands.  When I found out I could build my own walnut bike frame, I jumped at the opportunity!  The workshop process was fantastic. The sequence of steps was well thought out and the pacing was good.  The founder of Sojourn Cyclery, Jay Kinsinger, is so talented and has the heart of a teacher.  I learned a great deal through the process and always knew I would not make an unrecoverable mistake with Jay nearby to provide guidance and suggestions.  I now have a gorgeous, lifetime frame that always turns heads and has people asking, “Is that bike made out of wood?”.  You bet it is!”
