Thanks for the comeback. I 'm a old time biker, retired architect, with a need for adrenaline. Award winning designer having fun. This design has been in the making for five years and is on a 3-D program. No I am not selling it but will get it to someone who I deem serious. I am on here for all serious comments and suggestions. Thanks again. Peace

I like your design. If you look at my build you'll see I like the curved tubes. Your curves will be very hard to do. The top main tube isn't a constant radius. It looks like is get tighter towards the back, a diminishing radius. The smaller side tubes used for "triangulation" curves two ways. Both are hard to do except maybe on a CNC bender. The thing I found that is a particular problem with curved tube frames is reference. On a traditional frame you usually have main frame rails that are flat and parallel. This is the reference for all of the rest of the frame work, You measure up and over from a certain point to get the next tube. On a frame like this, you have to build some kind of jig to position the tubes. Even then it is hard to measure to position all of the ancillary hardware like mounts and tabs. It looks doable, bet it's not going to fit a tall person. Very compact. I do like the harmony in the angles and curves. It's a very nice design. Great work.

Thanks stretchmobileski!Your input is solid. Would you mind us e-mailing back and forth? I will be contracting this out to a builder soon. It is a custom shop geared for unique bikes. We're going into this as a prototype. They have given me a preliminary cost proposal that seems suitable. This is why this kind of information is critical to me. The more I learn the less it will cost me. Would enjoy seeing your work. Cannot seem to find it. Below is the preliminary frame design. Come on back. Peace
