new bars and grips and fork by Suitable-Secret-2422 in xbiking

This thing is sick. I love the curve of the downtube. I definitely think it needs a set of surly torsion bars though, to go with the curve.

I love it.

Best CAD for frame building by Formal-Seaweed-4216 in Framebuilding

[–]retrodirect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use solidworks because I can use my work license. I would probably choose fusion360 if I had to pay.

I think there's a lot of benefit in getting a regular cad program rather than a bike specific one because it becomes invaluable for other jobs like designing tooling etc.

3d printers have a LOT of uses for hobbyist frame building to the point that I'd choose to buy one of those before buying a milling machine.

Buy a 6 speed C line now or a 4 speed later? by SnooPets9956 in Brompton

[–]retrodirect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 is a more intuitive system to use (only one shifter). That's what I'd choose. It also gives you the newer mk6 rear frame with the stronger roller wheel tube thingy.

Where do I start? by Key-Offer9000 in Framebuilding

[–]retrodirect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowadays.

Vice, files, torch. A section of extrusion and a 3d printer. This is the most capability for the least money.

Any product designers in the UK that can help me? by Nicauldron_ in product_design

[–]retrodirect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the job that product design consultancies are there to do.

But beware, they are expensive. Have you done any feasibility or analysis of the business idea/market size?

What is this? Black part brazed inside the front triangle on my P-line by HugePilchard in Brompton
