Hi Everyone,
So building a bike frame from scratch using UD CF.
Project so far...
Curing oven - Had to build my own as a bike frame isn't going to fit in my conventional oven! Basically a big wooden box lined with Celotex and Aluminium tape. Heating comes from a 3K oven element and convected with a spare oven fan. Temp is controlled by a PID. Works a treat! Will post some pics of that project when I get some time
Tubes - Created from 10 wraps of 100gsm hi-mod CF, wrapped around aluminium mandrels, then wrapped in shrink tape
Frame jig - Building this from 80x40 aluminium strut, work in progress!
Cheers,
Andy
