In this on-line course we offer a comprehensive overview of bicycle design and frame-building (either for custom or production series) exploring the most relevant areas of the process: from customer relationship, the selection of frame materials and bike components, the different building techniques, to the use of bicycle design software and main workshop tools.
This online seminar has a duration of 4-5 hours and will suit all bicycle enthusiasts, professional mechanics, bike shop assistants, industrial engineers and, by extension, any person interested to acquire a better understanding about the bicycle in general. It is not necessary to have any previous knowledge on the subject.
This on-line seminar is structured around the design of a bespoke bike on the software BikeCad Pro. As we advance in the design of the frame, we will proceed to explain all the different areas related to the process – geometry, biomechanics, selection of materials and joining techniques- paying particular attention to the most relevant aspects of frame-building.
The aim of this seminar is to provide the basic principles of bike design and frame-building and offer a solid starting point for any student interested in advancing on this field. This seminar can be described as an expanded version of the first theoretical session of the Bike Design and Frame-Building Course (DCB-I and DCB-II)
When taking this course we offer students some additional benefits like a 10% discount on any of the courses and modules imparted at the Escuela, a 40% discount on the licence for BikeCad PRO software and access to the on-line forum of the ETB.
