design project

Recommended Posts

I know similar threads have been on here but I can find them and it will be easier for me all in one place and separate from others.

I am currently carrying out market research (as part of an assignment for a BTEC level 3 extended diploma) to establish any trends in the current market of which to research further in respect of bicycle frame manufacture viability. please note im not actually manufacturing, my project is purely from a design perspective.

So please complete this short questionnaire, and feel free to add any other information or advice you may feel relevant.

(please either copy and paste or just number your answers)

many thanks.

  1. What age are you?

  1. Are you male or female?

3. Do you currently own a bicycle?

  • Or many?

4. Will you be purchasing a new bicycle in the near future?

5. How long have you been riding bicycles?

6. Do you consider yourself to ride simply for pleasure or do you compete in competitions and if so what level do you ride at?

7. Can you name your favourite manufacturer?

  • Or preference to genre?

8. How much would you consider spending on?

  • A generic frame from a manufacturer? or
  • A custom frame made to your specification?

9. Do you have a preference to materials?

  • Steel’s (grouped with alloys of)
  • Aluminium’s (grouped with alloys of)
  • Composites.

10. What sized wheel bike do you use?

1 What age are you?

14 (and a half- you can't forget the half :P)

Are you male or female?

Male

3. Do you currently own a bicycle?

2 atm because some thieving scum took some

4. Will you be purchasing a new bicycle in the near future?

No, I'm skint.

5. How long have you been riding bicycles?

Since I was 2, making it 12 years.

6. Do you consider yourself to ride simply for pleasure or do you compete in competitions and if so what level do you ride at?

I ride for pleasure (that's what she said)

7. Can you name your favourite manufacturer?

Or preference to genre?

Trials of course! Inspired for me, although I've never owned one I have never heard anything bad about them, they look amazing and I hope to get one at some point.

8. How much would you consider spending on?

A generic frame from a manufacturer? or

A custom frame made to your specification?

Generic: Seeing as I am 14, £10 :P maybe £325-£350 unless it's something really special, custom would be similar.

9. Do you have a preference to materials?

Steels (grouped with alloys of)

Aluminiums (grouped with alloys of)

Composites.

Steel frames are more pretty imo with the narrow tubes and such, but I don't mind from an engineering standpoint.

10. What sized wheel bike do you use?

24 and 26"
