Interesting bike site

Found an interesting bike site sakuholma's photostream with many home built bikes and rough plans.  There were some interesting construction jigs like these:

 Snake 1 19.4.06

There were also many bike designs including a fair number of wood bikes.  I found this one particularly interesting:
04042008 Komsa ready 02032008 Pyörän kiinnitys

The use of stressed plywood skin to build a monocoque shell is an interesting idea.  It looks like a wood version of a flevo bike.


This one was also rather novel:

And here's yet another:


And a final one:
Snake 1 Snake 6.6.06 9
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snake 6.6.06 4 Snake 6.6.06 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snake 29.5.06 Snake 6.6.06 3

While looking around I also found an interesting site for a wood shell velo.
