Engineering Challenge:
Optimize a racing bicycle design for ultimate performance, using the design flexibility of composites, a suite of analytical design tools and improved manufacturing techniques.
Design Solution:
Use a unique carbon/epoxy prepreg layup to manufacture the lightest professional bike frame ever produced yet still meet all safety and performance requirements for racing conditions. (more)
I have always enjoyed bicycling and, through a series of coincidences, became a Bicycle Industry Consultant and Product Tester. I test prototype products for companies and have published only off the shelf production products on biketestreviews.com.
