Re: My DIY carbon-fiber frame [asad137]

That is quite an impressive project. How much does the frame weigh when all is said and done? Did you do any sort of engineering calculations on it to see if it would hold up or did you just overbuild it everywhere?


The frame weighs 1600 grams. A bit heavy, but my goal wasn't a light fast bike, but just something funny to build. If I would do it all over I think I might be able too loose 200-400 grams.

I didn't calculate anything, but I found some other guys in the 'net that built some and I used their saying (but they hadn't done any calculations too)

I have wride in small pot-holes and down from the curb and it feels really solid
