Rare Bicycle Hunt

Written by The Naib

Do you know anything about this super sweet wooden bicycle? Don would be very happy if you could help him find the creator.

On a recient cruise there was a terrific wooden bicycle that was part of the on-board art auction that caught my eye. While the bike was ridable it was obvious that it was probably intended for display. The bike had a name etched into its frame that appeared to be “Tiuo Saug” and had a serial number of 0096 (which suggest that quite a few of these bikes have been made). The name was in script and difficult to interpret, so I could be wrong about the spelling. What I am trying to determine is exactly who made the bike. I have pictures if that would be of help in identifying the maker

If you do please leave a comment.
