pjotr320, do you know what the story is with the wood strips on that velo? Is the body really made of wood strips? Or is the body made of fiberglass with a plastic film wrap over it?
Easy? No, it's not easy. It requires building a strongback and forming ribs. Then you tack, or staple strips on and you quickly get to where you need taper them to get them to lay. Avoiding wide gaps requires a little skill. Once the first layer is done, you add one, or two more that go at angles to the first. Then you finish up with fiberglass on the outside and inside. None of these steps is rocket science, but there is a lot of work involved, and some of it requires some actual skill. It is nothing close to easy, but it is do-able by most people.
I don't care if you do it for fun. There are people who do differential calculus for fun. You didn't address my description of the steps. It is not easy, it is a lot of work.
***** You can't get your head around the fact that a person can do something they enjoy and still recognize that it's not easy. I do many things that I find enjoyable that are not easy. The fact that I enjoy them does not make them any simpler, or any quicker.
wow, that wooden look have a special charm, it´s a mix between classic and new, looks very nice
What a beauty. Each time I see this Quest, I want one of my own so much... :)
Awesome. Does anybody know, what is average cruising speed for it? Thanks!
wow thanks for posting this video I have been looking into building my own cedar strip velomobile a haven't gotten much info
Josiah Padgett Study how they make wooden kayaks
This isn't wood. Its just a graphic design stuck on regular quest velo body. Basically a giant sticker.
Incredible! Are there plans for building one of these?
beautiful
Neat! I wonder how much heavier it is than carbon fiber or fiberglass.
It is lighter than carbon or fiberglass. Google west-system .

Captured? You mean "Got passed by", don't you?
bonjour what is your max speed
boubaboubli as the bishop said to the call girl.
How heavy is it?
Is it really wood, or is it plastic wallpaper stuck to regular velo body?

Sure. Whatever.
It could be a thin layer of real wood stuck to a regular velo body.
Yes beautiful but this is why are made from carbon fiber , to get maximum speed ...
