Who wants one?

if you went and made one 20", i would be really interested. How much
would they cost?

My DX frame is as heavy as, well, a DX frame.

well, i could, but i would have to make another mold, which means more
styrafoam (no! not the styrafoam!) and more time.

Please try to put the subject in the subject line. It's okay, you're new
here. For people to decide if they want one of your frames, they're
going to want to know more about them. Got pictures or
drawings/mockups? Also how much? It does sound interesting!

unfortunately i can't get my mockups onto my computer, but it is a
hunter based frame, except a little thicker, the models i have are
pretty good, but i haven't thought of the cost yet, and they wouldn't
be done for a while. I regret not having pics, sorry.- Kerosian

alright.

I think tons of street riders and trials riders would go for a CF frame
if you made them.

People are always looking for lighter options.

oh, and how the heck do you get around to doing this sort of thing?
i've NEVER figured out how to do it.

Are you using a workshop or just your home garage?
I'm super curious because molding and forming and making stuff is one
of the things i love to do.

I'll put some pictures up of the first on when it's done. All i have so
far is the know how and a start of a stryafoam mold, but i would be
interested in making a couple street/trials frames using another mold.
Plus, it's not just a CF frame, it's a CF and kevlar interwoven frame,
so even stronger while still being extremely light. (:

i started doing this with fiber glass, which is very similar and
cheaper. I do this in my garage, with my uncle, who taught me. If you
would like to do it just look it up on the net, it's a hell of a lot
easier than steel, although it is VERY expensive right now, which
sucks.

ok.

any specific places to look first, suggestions, tips?
This is a really cool venture, and i think a lot could still be
squeezed from the tube of toothpaste that is the possibilities of
carbon fiber!

I might be interested. I need to see the finished product, but it sounds
nice. Will it have brake mounts?

i have no specifics really, just google it and see if you can find
anything. I also recommend you start out with fiberglass, it's much
cheaper, so if you f**k up, it's not as devastating.

i plan to put brake mounts on the muni's, and i'll have the finished
product within 2007, i just need alot more R&D before i actually cast
it. And by carbon fiber uni, i mean a hunter frame based carbon
fibre/kevlar composite uni that is super stiff, super light, and super
durable. Oh, and super expensive, sorry about that part, but you get
what you pay for, eh.

one laaast question.

How the hell do you make a mold for this thing?

i can't wrap my brain around how to make a female mold for this thing.

and if you use a male mold and vacuum bag it, how are you gonna get the
blank out from inside?

if its only styrofoam then it weighs almost nothing and it isn't
anything to worry about

I think it may cost a pretty penny, i'll be using a carbon/kevlar
interwoven fabric, which is 44.56 a linear yard. I'll be using a pretty
red color too. I haven't picked out the resin yet though. And as far as
the mold question goes, I hand sculpt the female mold, very, very
carefully with an xacto knife. which is why i hate making molds, it
takes alot of time.
