Very neat.  I like the dropouts and other metal fittings.  Interesting that wood forks were not attempted ;)

 

I find the threadless headset using the wood laminate as part of the stack to be astounding as I would have thought that even a very high-content of epoxy resin in the woodburger would still be insufficient to create enough stability for a threadless headset to work.  I didn't see an inner metal sleeve in the component pile.

 

Looks like the frame would be very compliant and the sprung Brooks might be overkill as the frame itself should give a nice springy feel without any seat tube connecting the top "tube" with the BB. 

 

I'd love the opportunity to test ride this bike.
