| I joined Gus who cycled here from Odawara in Shinagawa, and we cycled to Sanomagic in Shinkiba together. The Sano workshop makes wooden vessels from the Edo era, continuing for more than 200 years. Recently, he started making bikes out of mahogany, using wooden shipwright technology. The weight of the mahogany bike is the same as a carbon frame bike, but it has the flexibility peculiar to wood. When I push on the pedal, I can feel a deflection as I start to accelerate. Sano does not compromise with quality. We must wait for three years to obtain a Sano bike. His mahogany bike is displayed this year in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. |
