carbon fiber/aluminum frame
hey guys i am making some frames from carbon fiber and cnc machined alu (like the koxx XTP but not as big and bulky). i was just looking for your thoughts and ideas on it. especially about what you think a reasonable sales price would be. i will have a prototype made in a couple of weeks and i will get some pictures up so you have a better idea of it. -- unicyclerman hey wanna ride my koxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unicyclerman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11444 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74521 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I think it'd be really cool. Since people here say they're going to make frames, and havent been, so it'd be cool if someone actually made one soon. -- unibikeling "-I'll learn the landing once i do the takeoff-" - me 'Sixsixone - Great gear for all riding!'

You had asked in your first post about pricing, I'd say aruond $250 maybe, thats my normal price for every frame that someone says they'll make. Since its normall Ti frames and stuff. We'll have to see what your designs are, and what it can stand up to first, cause alu and CF arent the strongest materials. (being that alu can break if enough force is exerted, and CF can crack if scratched). -- unibikeling "-I'll learn the landing once i do the takeoff-" - me 'Sixsixone - Great gear for all riding!'

Well depending on how it looks, how long it lasts, ect. I would spend around (if i had the money) $175-275 US. You would be doing 20" frames, 42mm bearing housings, and 27.2mm seat tubes? right? -- Any Terrain 2nd Place*)---SuperWrap-'O,* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any Terrain's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16258 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74521 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
