Newbie from Minnesota. I like to make bicycle frames.

Hey guys. Interested in improving upon my carbon layup technique with small radius, small overall sized parts.

Here's my most recent bike -> http://dillerdesign.com/random/bike/fat_bamboo_v2/DSC_0185.JPG

...and my first one (yikes, what I know now...) -> http://dillerdesign.com/random/bike/bamboo_01.jpg

I'm doing experiments of late involving inflation membranes (vs a full inflation bladder) and any alternative to vacuum bagging, as my parts don't have any flat reference plane to tape to / is generally a big pain in the butt =)

Hoping to be building custom carbon and bamboo frames commercially in 2013!
