Did you outsource the carbon work or do you have access to your own process?

Great, I was considering the same thing. I do not have a autoclave oven, so I can only utilize vacuum bagging with oven cure. PM me your results after testing if you don’t mind. I will keep you posted on mine as well.

Swipe right in the pictures, just add the geo chart.
The CAD is from end of 2016, not the current trends... but this ride fine and fast enough really

Thanks for your comment,
Just add a picture where you can see the symmetry line. That was hard to have the chevrons properly aligned...

Well, I used OOA Out Of Autoclave prepreg from Easycomposites and cured this in my (big) homemade oven. The front triangle is molded in one shot in a big resin mold using a bladder. There is a debulking every 3 layers made with a simple vaccum bag.

Perfect, easycomposites was exactly what I was thinking. I haven’t built my large curing oven yet. I only have a small oven that I use for powdercoating cure that will handle parts as large as fork lowers.
I started a contract job in a Engineering and Research department where they do all of their composite and materials R&D/testing. I’m waiting for the perfect moment to ask if I can utilize their process equipment and ovens off the clock... fingers crossed. Otherwise I’m fine with building my own ovens at home. It would be really nice to make a bike frame as a side project using their processes... I mean they aren’t currently using that stuff right now haha
