Zoo_Monkey Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 iv been wanting to design my own frame for a while - this is what iv done so far, its taken from bikes iv ridden in the past and the current stuff out there, hopefully ill get this one done over the winter. was just interested in what people think on the geo and overall look of the frame so farits going to be steel, dedicated 4bolt (i have the mounts ready to brase on ) probably horisontal dropouts and BMX/mod spacing - prob run it with a profile. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o269/so...steelframe1.jpgthanks for reading - sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo_Monkey Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 yea sorry - 26" it is - always forget to put the most important bits in my posts :$ im trying to get a nice short back end - when iv done the full 3d modle ill be able to tweek the design but as iy is im pretty sure there will be enough room on the back end - will have to seeid be working on it now but i got a job interview in 50 mins scaired!more will be done thisevening me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 What are you using to design this on, and where can I get it?! Looks pretty nice from what I can see, seems to fit in quite nicely with a lot of frames that are out there at the moment.Keep us posted...

Zoo_Monkey Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 ist just autocad costs abit to buy but then its only a small program and quick to download if thats your kind of thinggood for drafting / teck drawings etc - im not a fan if it to modle in though but precicse never the lessif you are going to get some software id recoment solidedge - its realy good for metal work and has FEA stuff as standard i think - cant remember i cant find my copy anywhere and i actualy payed for it. :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 AutoCAD's balls. Really. Solidworks, Solidedge, Pro Engineer, they are what your looking for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo_Monkey Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) AutoCAD's balls. Really. Solidworks, Solidedge, Pro Engineer, they are what your looking for...agrees - but it has its place and i can import the files straight to alias for rendering and ideas masterseries for CNC work - which is what i do most.do like solid edge though - good for sheet metal work iv found, but iv not realy used it in a profesional capacity.wtf?!?!?! I say jib of the bmx spacing its a shite idea lol.how so? im not realy interested in gears and the dishing on a bmx/mod wheel is better - making a stronger wheel Edited October 31, 2006 by Zoo_Monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 yea but it REALLLLLLLLLLY limits your rear hub choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I personally wouldn't recommend running the profile on it though. the Deng Hubs are sposed to be good. But im running a front freewheel on my 26" Mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo_Monkey Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 meh - the choice is overrated anyway all it means is i cant run hope hubs and some other random hubs i would never useas long as it takes a profile or a scerw-on sprocket/freewheel echo or onza or something it will work a treat.

RobinJI Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Just to clarify, does the wheelbase say '1030' or '1080' really squashed up?I've found Solid Edge great so far for bike stuff at home, but we're using Inventor 7 in college, which I'm not liking as much, because you have to draw it roughly then go back and add dimensions, rather than just drawing it dimensioned in the first place. Thats as far as I got with drawing my 24" frame in Solid Edge before I got distracted or fell asleep or something: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo_Monkey Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 ayy good old solid edge - its only beaten by ideas in my books for eng stuff but ideas takes some getting used to and loses its edge if you are using it as a single seat.its a 1080 wheel base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
