One of the first tasks for designing the bike was to understand the bike geometry.
For work Ian designs machine parts in Catia, so it was a natural transition for him to use this high dollar software to determine all the proper alignments for a bike.
Silly me thought that all bikes use the same geometry but apparently not. The angle of my top tube and seat tube will be 72 degrees.
Part of this modeling included Ian having to replace graphic card on his work computer. Apparently the Dell M90’s have a cooling issues when not properly vented. This translates to do not place laptop on lap while working.
The pictures below show my new bike.
I am getting excited!
