    What about wood eating insects,fire. Sure it won't rust but it will rot. Wood does snap It will foat
    but does get waterlogged. And when you get cold you can use it to start a fire to stay warm but your
    have to walk back to your car or home. Its a woody and what about MR. Wood- peker.

    I've cut enough trees in the last 4 weeks to make hundreds of them.

    There are a couple of guys that have built wood recumbents.

    One has rear susp. A new version of a 'Bentwood rocker?

    Well my friend actually owns one which I saw at his place quite some time ago. Can't remember if it
    was the same design but it was all wood.

    I'll bet his was also one of a kind.

    No [censored]!! And it is made from "pressed Maritime Plywood?" I've heard of Marine Ply, but never
    Maritime. Weight is listed as 12 lbs - I assume that's frame-only...
