Wooden Bike Frame

Haven't been on here in ages! But here's an update with what I'm working on at the moment in uni. The brief was to find a product made of steel, plastic or concrete and redesign it with a lower impact material. Hence redesigning a steel frame to be made of wood.

Still a lot of work to do before I'm ready to prototype. Firstly I'll CNC a scaled down foam model, just to make sure the CAD model is all good. The second prototype will be another scaled down model, this time out of ply. This way I can test the joints. The final model will be constructed out of my chosen wood and plans to be half size, however if feasible I will construct a full size frame.
