Rate My Bicycle

My son’s Specialized Hotrock 16. I bought it from Play It Again Sports, and it was pink at the time. Sand paper, primer and blue paint with silver flake fixed that.

Here is a wood bike that I built from 3/8″ Baltic Birch plywood and LVL(laminated veneer lumber). The rear dropouts are the only frame part made from metal. Rides well and is fairly light when properly equipped.
