Calling Matt Lombard

Matt,

The random color macro on your website is toast.
Could you send it my way please?
Nice bicycle frame BTW!

TIA,
Muggs

LOL.

No, toast as in crap, no good, doesn't work!

You weren't around for Boss? Far-out!
I just missed Keen.

Muggs

 

Muggs is toast the same as wiggin', sweet, cool, awesome, the bomb, (and
some I wasn't around for) boss, swingin' baby and narly.

At first glance I thought he was going to need to do some work on it because
it was smokin' oh there is one I forgot. why is it we americans use terms
that are the exact opposite of what we mean for our slang?

Maybe he got it from here:

Thanks Ken!

Muggs

 

hmmm,

might be nice modeling but...

what purpose drove the frame design ?

no conventional rear brake mounting brace on seat stays, increase of
aerodynamic turbulence in exchange for bottom bracket stiffness....
how do I mount a water bottle on the seat tube ?

what material is the frame supposed to be made of ?

 

Muggs,

Sorry about the macro. I think what's happening is that if you RMB on the
link and do a Save Target As, it saves it in *.htm format, even though the
file is definitely in *.swp. Anyway, I downloaded it and changed the name,
and it worked the way it should. If you go to the "View all macros" link,
it can be downloaded correctly from that location.

This is one that was written by Kevin Silbert, when he worked for Trimech.

This frame was done as an exercise to show how to model X, Y, T and K
intersections for a complex shapes class, but much of it came from real
frame design. The geometry is based on a steel triathalon frame I
designed for my ex-wife, which I actually had made, and now hangs on my
study wall (the frame, that is, not my ex-wife). It was stiff as hell
in the BB, but a bit heavy for real competition use.

The split seat tube was dual purpose, first, it allows you to cram the
rear wheel another 20mm or so forward, giving you that short wheelbase
and steep seat angle that tri riders seem to be irrationally in love
with. Back in the late 70s there was an Italian frame builder called
Rigi that built frames with split seat tubes. Never really caught on.

The bent chainstay was really just an element from mountain bikes to
keep the chain from slapping the stay on bouncy downhills. So this
would be a great design for a tri leg that goes over cobblestones, so
long as you never want to father a child.

As for a water bottle, what are you gonna ask for next, downtube
shifters? Get a camelbak.

Brakes are overrated. No one ever went faster by putting brakes on
their bike. Maybe this is a custom frame, and you have the choice to
get cantilever bosses or even a rear disk. Or it could be a track
frame, which would only have a front brake, mounted on the fork.

No shift cable bosses either, this is the wireless design.

Monocoque carbon fiber with ti inserts at the head tube, BB and droputs,
of course.

Yeah, Ken already sent me to Trimech.
Thanks for replying Matt.
