The new Sman Cruiser is a wooden bike by designer Arnolt Van Der Sman, and it comes as the product of the designer's passion and mastery of creative carpentry. The bike is almost entirely comprised of wood, the exception being the rims. The main frame is carved out of ash while the detail and fender are made out of beech wood. The complementary colors of the two types of lumber create a trendy and elegant attraction.
While not for the extreme bikers and BMX tricksters, the Sman Cruiser's ash wood makes the bike fairly resilient to shock, so don't worry about having to purchase crotch-padded pants.
Arnolt Van Der Sman's Sman Cruiser comes as the result of perseverance, enthusiasm and skill. Topped with twelve layers of lacquer, this retro-inspired wooden bike is a polished and modish mode of transportation.
