Ashley Wood and company at 3A Toys have been keeping busy with the world of 3A Tomorrow Kings.

French designer Paul Guerin and woodworker Till Breitfuss of Keim have united because they like to give bikes wood. Their first model, the Arvak, has a carefully tested hollow monocoque frame made from 24 layers of laminate ash wood, and an $11,000 price tag to match.
