Since we claim that wood offers superior ride qualities and other advantages over conventional materials, with appearance as merely a happy by-product, we think it’s appropriate to exhibit only at events where folks can ride Renovos and put our claims to the test. That means we won’t be exhibiting at 'custom' shows which don’t allow or accommodate test rides.
March 13-14, Seattle Bike Expo
April 15-18, Sea Otter Classic, Monterey, CA
International Design Magazine listed the Renovo R4 as 'One of the year's sharpest products' in the New and Notable section, November-December issue.
Aston Martin Magazine chose the Renovo R2 as one of the design worlds' best accessories... perfectly suited to the discerning traveller... a way to simply revel in the journey itself..." If 007 insists, we'll install rocket launchers, parachutes and stuff...
Check out the lateral stiffness testing of eleven frames, from a Surly Steamroller to a Cervelo Soloist and a Colnago Dream, and of course several Renovos. If you're not already riding a Renovo, you might be surprised. The Renovo R4 with wood stays delivers nearly identical stiffness to the Cervelo carbon Soloist!
