Connor Wood Bicycles builds wood bicycles that beautifully combine form and function. Chris is a longtime Denver woodworker and cycling enthusiast, and building wood bicycles came as a stunning realization that he could bring the two together. After years of experience building classical guitars and designing and building modern furniture, Chris has a love and respect for the beauty, strength, and durability of wood. Connor Wood Bicycles uses a unique combination of sustainably harvested American White Ash, Black Walnut and curved composite laminations throughout its bikes.
Each Connor Wood Bicycle is painstakingly manufactured by hand in Denver. The bikes require the utmost of precision and craftsmanship to make them strong, durable and beautiful works of rolling art. Using old-world hand tools, coupled with modern computer controlled routing manufacturing, the bikes are precisely made to be technically flawless and fine woodworking at its best. Each frame is made from over 30 different pieces of wood precisely fitted together and bonded with aerospace adhesives and composite reinforcements. Hand sanding and multiple coats of marine spar varnish protect them from the elements and showcase the beauty of the wood. Over 40 hours of labor goes into each one and if you look closely at them you’ll see how all that attention to detail pays off.
Connor Wood Bicycles come in four basic configurations, each available in many sizes, and can be customized in many ways. Select from the images below for more information.
