does that mean you could 3d print joining parts and connect them all with carbon tubes? post bike kits to people for them to assemble.

- pencerw 11y agoYes! Once I get the seatpost (this part: http://pencerw.com/feed?tag=seatpost http://pencerw.com/feed?tag=seatpost) done, I want to start working on a full bike frame, made to order and assembled individually.
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoI can't find it right now, but at some point someone had made a kit of bike-frame joints, with the tubes to be supplied by the builder from locally available materials. PVC pipe and hand-whittled wood with bark still on were demonstrated. It was really cool.

- pencerw 11y agoYeah! That one's pretty nice, though personally I probably would have skipped the gold coating on the lugs.
