It's still a work in progress but rides fine. The seatpost and wooden bars I have are reinforced with carbon fibre and the acrylic has been stress tested in our DT department at school where i teach. They won't break. I'm not going to risk having a wooden spike up my harris.
I'll probably end up having a more 'normal' set up but it's just a bit of fun really, a Sunday ride. The rear brake bridge was glued solid so drilled it out and ran the belt through there. Have rethreaded the bridge if i ever want to run a back brake, but cork pads work fine on wooden rims.
I'd appreciate any ideas on suitable bars for this. Seatpost is hard as standard Campi 25ml post is too short.
