You've got to expect the odd "number mishap"! I had various versions,
broken down into different-sized steps. Sorrya bout dat. All I can
assure you is that in general, the numbers will get larger, more or
less, as the lesson progresses. If all goes according to plan.

OK, Pondero, for what it's worth, here's my stick figure:

I realize the lines are not dark enough to see all that clearly. I
merely guessed at tubing diameters. I think I put the downtube too
low where it hits the headtube, so the front whee
Whoops, now I see what you mean. I guess the numbering caught up to itself.
:-) Just ignore my last post. Sigh.

Actually the first PDF wasn't labeled with a number as it just showed the
materials list (protractor, etc.)
The second pdf was the first step in the actual drawing and so on from
there...

OK...that says step 3 on it so I assume it is just a number mishap.

Step 4 was seat tube angle:

Did I miss step 4 somewhere? I had the PDF with step 3 and then the
next one was step 5. Was that just an error?

Seriously, your approach sounds exactly like what I would do, and I'd
love to see it.

I went ahead and worked ahead. Grant had us up to seat tube angle. I
did chainstay next, and then seat tube length, which allowed me to
connect the dots for my seatstays. Then I marked my saddle height and
drew a level line from the saddle to the front end. I knew I wanted

I think Laney College here in Oakland did a frame building class, as
well as The Crucible, which is a vocational arts school with every
kind of heat based trade (glass, welding, blacksmithing, etc). Maybe
I should look into that.

I took a welding class (Welding for Artists, or something like that)
at the local community college a few years ago and got to try
everything and developed instant respect for the simplest welds in my
life. I got to try both gas and electric and gas brazing and plasma
cutting, and it's on my list.
I did this: signed up for a framebuilding class, measured my youngest
son who needed a good road bike, and built a virtual clone of my
Rambouillet. The only change I made
was to increase the fender clearance slightly under the headtube and
the seat stay bridge since my Ram frankly runs at the min

You might want to play around with BikeCAD, too.

The full-featured version is expensive, but the on-line Java version
is free and quite fun to play with. It can even model 650b wheels
with 42 mm tires!

Pics please!
I'm intrigued by this idea, and will try to follow along if I can make
the time. We often debate the merits of hand drawing versus computer
drawing versus Building Information Modeling in my office. We're using
ArchiCAD for most of our projects now, but sometimes I think about
Don't stop at drawing it, build it! I built my first frame this past
spring, had a blast, learned a lot, and ended up with one of the
