A titanium road bike frame. UBI in Ashland OR USA had a 2 week course during which you learn to and complete a frame. You didn't need prior experience but I took a welding course in a community college beforehand.
- sliken 3y agoVery cool. I wanted a custom frame for my hard to fit wife. The bike shop (dragonfly bike shop in Davis CA) offered a custom frame or I could build one myself for the same price. I ended up taking the semester class that met twice a week for an evening. Had an overview of bike design, light overview of drafting, and used a 1:1 frame drawing on paper. Handy to be able to hold up the frame you are working on up to the paper. It was fun to go from a pile of bike tubes to a usable bike frame. The meeting of 4 tubes at the bottom bracket had a surprisingly complicated interface. I'm glad I sprung for the powder coating at some bike frame aware place, maybe Cycle Art? Recommended if you get the chance.
