A one-of-a-kind: The Sögreni Woodie

This is the Sögreni Woodie, where the frame is made out of – as the name suggests – wood. The idea to construct a wooden bicycle hade been around for some time, but Søren Sögreni looked for the perfect kind of wood to use. It should be strong enough to carry a person, but not too stiff, and certainly not too heavy. After testing different types of wood, finally he choose ash. This is what Wikipedia says about ash: “Ash timber is hard, tough and very hard-wearing, with a coarse open grain and a density of 710 kg/m3”.

The construction of the parts took some time, and all in all about a year was used for this unique bicycle, complete with a Brooks of England saddle, Sögreni handle bars, a Sögreni luggage carrier, a front brake and other small details. All metal parts of the frame have been given the Sögreni delta-treatment, of course.

There is another older wooden bicycle prototype in the shop in Skt Peders Stræde as well.

This one-of-a-kind Woodie is now sold to a collector af rare bicycles, and the pricetag is something we keep as a secret between us. But if you also would like a truly unique bicycle, please send us an e-mail or give us a call with your wishes.
