Wooden Frame Bicycle Reference Thread

-

Doing a bit of research I was surprised to find a lack of wood frame reference thread other than to try and ID particular bikes.

I bought a ladies wood frame that I am not yet able to ID but I have cause to believe it was a factory built machine rather than a mail order kit.

I thought I would try to pull together the wood frame adverts with positive ID's associated I have and invite others to do the same.

Please feel free to dredge your archives and add to the list for posterity.

I had no idea that moulded plywood was a thing so early - I had always associated it with mid-century modern and later furniture.
