ANT Bikes is a small fabrication shop located in Holliston, Massachusetts. Since 1983, Mike Flanigan has been crafting bicycles for transportation, while combining functionality and style. He believes people don't need gas-guzzling vehicles to pick up their groceries and offers well-made bicycles as the alternative.
The latest creation by ANT Bikes is a copper and wood collaboration with a stunning outcome. This one-of-a-kind two wheeler features a wooden frame, copper-plated hubs and pedals, stunning wooden rims and much more.
The only downside is that the creative cycle is unrideable, however it's an example of craftsmanship and utter beauty. Boston is one of the largest cities for custom bike shops, and this new showpiece is sure to put ANT Bikes on the map.
