How to Build a Simple Bicycle Frame

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

Follow, these simple step by step models, to make a pretty realistic bicycle frame. I recomend, if you aren't confident to simply manipulate one of the many frame skeletons (simple the lines that form the basic frame) to create your frame from scratch.____If you can't understand my models follow these steps.____1.First draw your basic outline of a frame, you can get the proper dimentions online (BikeCAD is ideal) or by looking at model 5.____2. Then aline your wheels, (get the correct diameter, e.g, 26' 29', etc), and space out your chainstays and seatstays, most bikes are 135mm, or 130mm (look at model 5), for 135mm, that would be 67.5mm on each side of the rear axle.____3. Ad your circle, for tubing.____4. Add any additional detail, like dropouts, or struts.____5. Simply shows some dimention for you to follow if you want, they are to the scale of a normal mountain bike.____6. Use the 'Follow me tool' to drag the circles (for rubing) down their lines. Same with the chain/seatstay bars.____7.Add some finishing touches, soften edges, colour, etc. #bicycle #bike
