[RBW] I'm going to draw my own frame! Who else will follow along?
Grant is apparently going to teach us how to draw a bike frame in his little step by step way. I'm going to follow along. I want a custom frame that somewhat resembles a 58cm 650B A. Homer Hilsen. The critical differences will be that I want it 130mm spaced and want it to be a lighter frameset. I don't know if I'll ever get this frameset made, or whether it will be a Rivendell or an Ebisu or a Davidson or something else. But I'm looking forward to drawing it. I've done a fair amount of drafting table work in Engineering school, but never went ahead and drew a bike. Looking forward to it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com.

I'd like to try to build my own frame eventually, and it'll be really interesting to have Grant's take on the design process, especially since whatever i end up building will no doubt have a hefty dose of Riv influence. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I'm in. I want to document my bikes and reconstruct bikes from my past.

Re: [RBW] I'm going to draw my own frame! Who else will follow along?
This was in one of the old Bridgestone catalogs, or perhaps in a BOB pamphlet for those who have the complete archival collection, it is in there somewhere. Maybe a bridgestone handout? I think if you have lots of drafting experience, this is pretty easy. Lots of framebuilders work from full sized frame drawings so they can lay the tubes and tacked assembluies on the drawings to quickcheck dimensions and angles. Akll you really need is a big ruled straight edge, a adjustable triangle and a compass. Musty recollection is that was all that was in the old Grant draw a bike publication.
