Update: Frame rack is built and the frame is mounted!

Update 10/20/20

The frame rack has been completed, with movable jigs.

Currently, the frame has been mounted and fits well, and the swing arms are mounted on it as well.

Quite a bit of work left, but making progress being made.

Here are pictures of it; the design was also sent to cellete frame company and they have been sent to their R&D department which is super cool!

This is two-fold, it will allow us to build a frame jig to start building bicycles post carbon fiber frame mold, and also building the initial launch of a dual sport bicycle.

Our jig design is visualized to be mobile and allow for a180 degree build where we can focus on the whole bike, to concentrate on attention to quality and individuality of creating a product for the individual rider. 

Our work is hand-laid carbon fiber frames. I will be using a foam core, with a hand-laid fiberglass shell then carbon fiber. The carbon fiber will be a combination of red and black weave to provide an aesthetic that is solely our own. The frame has stable structural and cosmetic aspects to allow for a combination of flexibility, strength, and rigidity on a variety of riding surfaces.The frame has a ridged front half and dual rear drivelines that can be swapped out, allowing for full suspension or rigid tail depending on rider preferences.

The goal of this design and build is to create not only a functional bicycle, but also a rolling work of art. Colin Chapman said "Simplify then add lightness" which is the ethos of our design. Our aim is to build something by hand that is made to attack a brutal trail, or cruise through the city, handle well, be comfortable and look like no other.

Lastly, Colin Chapman also said "rules are for the obedience of fools and interpretations of smart men"

                                We aim to change the rules of what it is, what will be and what can be.
