July 25, 2009. Frame Number One - Single Speed Mountain Bike. Not too long ago, I used BikeCAD. To draw up a frame which I believe will fit me well, and based it around a 120mm fork, single speed drive train, and 26-inch wheels. Using the numbers from the technical drawing, I called up Nova Cycles. And ordered up a stack of tubing to get the job done. So, here you have a bicycle. Here are a number of photos of the process:. Top tube, with miter templates in place, laid out on the full size drawing.

May 24, 2010. Tooling and other nonsense. I have been working on building up tooling and such for the projects. So far I have acquired a 1966 Millrite mill, and a 1968 Logan Lathe. Both are very nice tools and should serve well in years to come. Frame Building Links :. Main Page / Archives. August 3, 2009. August 1, 2009. July 25, 2009. Designed by Free CSS Templates.

Zen and the Art of Bicycle Building. The first rule is, never go behind the service counter without an invitation. The second rule is, never go behind the service counter without an invitation. A 6-pack of half-decent beer on a slow afternoon goes a long way towards making connections at the shop, and in the community generally. These people know the other bike people. In this area, and they'll make introductions under the right circumstances. Linkdump, Snowpocalpyse Edition. With your fancy new job?

Zen and the Art of Bicycle Building. Why Does Building Performance Simulation Software Suck so Bad? Back in February, I saw Autodesk. CEO Carl Bass give a talk at Cleantech Forum San Francisco. Full video of the talk is here. Bass' commitment to cleantech was impressive. He rightly described cleantech as the biggest challenge of a generation. And he re-announced their Clean Tech Partner program. Most architects would admit they should. The problem is, Autodesk's Sustainable Design tools. To even begin to...

Sunday, 12 July 2009. 8220;A lot of guys are going to be thinking. 'What's Wiggins been doing? 8221; That's unfortunate but I'm not Schumacher, I'm not Bernhard Kohl. I've worked hard for this.” . My call was Sastre to win, but he seems to have lost his spark. The chances of seeing attacks coming now will be limited to the Alps and The Geant of Provence. That should be even more exciting as this race builds the tension. Exuberant Norwegians in fancy dress and my first sighting of the devil. .

Zen and the Art of Bicycle Building. The Jimmy Chou Recipe. Jimmy Chou is a Chinese chef who worked for my grandparents on and off starting in the seventies. He threatened to quit periodically, and then finally retired for good (probably) last year. One day while he was cooking I asked Jimmy to teach me to cook. He gave me this recipe, which I've since done my best to get tired of, with no success. Buy 1 pound chicken, pork, or beef. Meanwhile, thinly slice. Slice the meat as thinly as possible. In 1/4 c...

Zen and the Art of Bicycle Building. I arrived in the mountain town of Boone, North Carolina, five days ago, my little red pickup Baby loaded down with everything I'd need to start a new Official Graduate Student life here. Then the kick-ass housing situation I'd been counting on fell through. Don't panic. Meet grad students, sleep on their couches, join couchsurfing.org. How much of the fabrication will we do in-house? I realized that every. What tolerance can we get away with here? Some part of me has ...

Zen and the Art of Bicycle Building. This spring I'm interning for Steve Ward, welding teacher at Watauga High School. In Boone, NC. Besides high school classes, Steve also teaches a nighttime adult welding class through Caldwell Community College. The shop has been Steve's baby for 15 years. There's 35 welding machines ranging from shop-made engine-driven portables to state-of-the art Miller Dynasty. Photos from the first of our several visits to local high school and college shops are here. As a 20-min...
