Most bike frames are made from steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber, but in recent years custom bike makers have started using a new material for a more stylish ride: wood. It might seem like a throwback, but wood frames are strong enough to meet safety and durability standards. And there’s another benefit of producing wood frames — they look great. French bike maker BSG Bikes, which was founded by Thierry Boltz and Claude Saos, is the latest company to combine wood frames with metal components, and the result is a timeless bike that makes you want to go pedaling around the French countryside.
