WishList: Audi-Renovo Wood bicycles

Audi's Duo City is a belt-driven 8-speed internal hub, and a hardened wood frame

Spring is here (although it is awfully tentative) and there's no better way to greet better weather than with a new bike. Audi has teamed up with Renovo to produce a limited run of these wooden bicycles. Renovo's description of the collab and the resulting bikes follows.

The duo series of bikes are not ‘racing’ bicycles; their intended use includes club rides, centuries, commuting and just exploring; roadway, pathway, the city up close. They deliver the unmatched experience of riding handmade art enhanced with state-of-the-art technology for superb all-round performance. Oh, and don’t doubt strength or durability, wood has it in spades. Starting price is $6,530 for the Duo City, $7,350 for the Duo Sport, and $7,460 for the Duo Road.
