Start new frame construction Company

[Jean Andre Vall]

Hi everyone Could someone send me the website links for frame jigs and supporting equipment?
Recumbent as well as touring uprights? prefer steel because I have years of experience of welding
on tubing with mig some with tig. I would like to spend my remaining few years on this earth
designing and riding what I would like ride not what's just out there. Of course selling a few
would be nice also.

A good place to start is Tim Paterek's site: http://home.pacifier.com/~tpaterek/ I don't know if
there's an "off-the-shelf" jig for recumbents. There's so many different designs that it's hard to
imagine something that fit them all.

Also check on the Framebuilder's list: http://www.phred.org/mailman/listinfo/framebuilders There's a
few recumbent builders there- perhaps you can get some bette advice there.

[...] This is a good place to start:

But once you leave conventional bikes, you may end up with more in common with home airplane
builders. You may need to go to their sources for tubes and such. A place like:

has tubing:
