I'd like to build in a lock into the seat stay bridge. This version didn't work. I have another coming soon.

Those bars are stylish beyond belief! Sorry, new to this thread, are they 3D printed too?

No. Stem and levers were machined. Bars are bent 6061 tubing. Then welded and polished.

Lugs have a thin wall, about 1.2mm, ideal for printing and almost too thin for machining. The stem has 3mm walls, ideal for machining, and gets pricey to print.

I am just astounded by what can be done with printed stuff. But your bars, stem and levers are sublime. Amazing work.

Wow. Those are neat. Were they machined or printed?

And the pedals above. What body did you attach the plates to?

I don't recall that quote. It was 9 years ago. I did buy a single lug (top head tube) in 2017. It was $312. The box above, 21 parts total, was $445. The BB was the most expensive at $68. Not cheap, but I expect at least 160 hours of finishing. So it cost me $2.78/hour to have fun. Cheaper than a movie.

As for the pedals, I used MKS Touring bodies. I have a wide fat foot. Quills and toe clips are very uncomfortable to me.

I actually just broke down and read about 3D printing of metal filaments and how it’s done. Beyond my engineering ability but very interesting how it goes from metallic powder to what you have.

What tubing will you use?

Columbus XCR. Except the fork, Columbus doesn't offer a stainless option. I went with KVA.

Looks like one of the fork dropouts is already done...

Have you estimated the height of the pile of sandpaper you'll go through?

Looks like a different printing process from earlier test pieces. I don't see the "sedimentary" printing artifacts, these looke more "cast."

I'm still amazed at the 3D printing state of the art from when I was designing these kind of parts maybe 15 years ago. Costs have dropped significantly as well.

Nice!

The Atelier has a large scrap bin for this very reason. As long as I stick to same bend, same material dimensions I'm pretty confident in my rack/decaleur designs. When I'm asked to go outside of my comfort zone, I light a few candles before horking down on tubing.
