Hi Brent

I wish to design my own recumbent bikes and trikes in the future. In order to acheive this goal, my plan is to eventually graduate to cad programs like solidworks. Such cad softwares are not able to produce the handy mitering templates that BikeCAD can though, and I am trying to replicate those miter templates using trigonometry and matlab. The results I am getting though do not match up with the miter templates produced by BikeCAD. I am wondering if a reference exists desribing how BikeCAD computes the curves for a miter template.

Thanks for your help

The following is what Dan would like passed on to anyone interested:

Does anyone know Shimano's spec for GRX's braze on height? Is it 146mm per Shimano's standard, or less?

Thanks in advance!

Hi and thanks for looking. I am a Noob and wanted to know if anyone has a strong opinion on sequence?

What do you braze first and so on? What makes the most sense?

Thanks

What frame jig are you using to build the front and rear triangle? And are you satisfied with it and knowing what you know now, would you have saved or purchased a different one. Or maybe you made one yourself via 80/20. No budget at this time, just identifying the best value. Main purpose is for brazing and possibly carbon fiber. Please share as I begin my research and cost/benefit. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm looking for someone with experience designing children's bike frames to design some frames for me.

This would be a paid gig.

If you're interested or know of someone who might be, please let me know.

Thanks!

Marc
