opus wood - In Research and development
The whistling of the wind in the spokes and the warmth of the wood awaken our senses.
Wood is a natural material which enables an intellectual and gracious approach.
ECCE Cycles has chosen to use ash tree, maple and cherry tree, which are aesthetic, rigid, and light woods, already used for the construction of boats.
In the OPUS range we have the Cruise "W" model, which can be described as both artistic and sensual.
As an homage to craftsman skills, this entirely hand-made wooden frame model harmonises with perfection with brown leather on the yokes. Equally an object of reflection on urban mobility by its designer Pierre Lallemand, the Opus Cruise "W" is an innovation that provides an artistic solution to today's issues of transport and to those of the future.
Prototypes available for sale.
