Hi...I am a year 13 student studying Product Design. As part of my course I have to do a 2000 word product study and I have chosen to base mine on bike frames; in particular the material technology. I have chosen this area as cycling has been a part of my life for many years. I have to find different ways of collecting research one of them being from members of the public.The type of information that I need to find out is Research and Development into materials technology used on bike frames, manufacturing technology, joining methods; eg stress analysis, CAD/CAM which all help with the continuous changes in frame design. If any body has any personal opinions they would like to express about bike frames for example what you think is the best materials and where you think the design and manufacturing of bike frames will go in the furture that would be great because its exactly what im looking for. Information such as pictures, website links would also be helpful for me and would be very appreciated. Thank You!!
