Thinking of making myself a frame, I understand the engineering behind but can anyone point in the direction of some good frame building websites? Just for info. really.
Cheers Mat
What material?
I've done a few in carbon.
Have you? Good effort! There's a composite department here too might be a plan. I was thinking Ti or even just steel to start with. At the moment i@m just considering the jig I have to build.....

Read lots of it before jumping in with dumb questions.
Or Frameforum.org - though I think it's just wierd.
Check out this car-crash - http://www.frameforum.org/forum3/index.php/topic,2751.0.html
I have a friend who has just done a couple of frames in steel without a jig. He cut the mitres with a lathe to get them accurate. One of them has just been on an icelandic tour with him. Its a long wheel base tourer. I'm sure I found a copy of the Patereuk manual online too.
if you want steel, alu tubing and things like dropouts etc go here:
lots of interesting things - look in the whats new section for latest bits
Ok thanks guys saves me trawling loads of sh1te.
