Made of Wood and Begging to Be Ridden: The Renovo Pursuit
If you’ve ever hit a baseball with a wooden bat, you may have sensed that the power the bat transmits to the ball feels lower than that of an aluminum bat. Wood has a natural tendency to absorb vibration. Perhaps this is why I’ve frequently used the term “wooden” to describe a lifeless, overly damped ride. I’ll never do it again—not in a derogatory sense, anyway. The Renovo Pursuit, a road bike with a wooden frame handmade in Portland, Oregon, has a ride that’s lively, smooth, rigid, and well damped without being overly so. …When you own a Renovo, you own a bike made from sustainably sourced materials and renewable resources. The Pursuit, for example, is made primarily from Oregon-sourced Port Orford cedar, chosen for its high stiffness-to-weight ratio
