A bicycle may be conceived as a straightforward object with a much-defined form and functionality. On the macro level, it is true considering the efficiency and simplicity embedded in the minimal almost transparent construction, a feasible interface attaching the rider and the road achieved with a few profiles connected. On the micro level that is a  different story.

For the past 15 years, I have been in some way or another, involved with bicycles. it started as a necessity later combined with simple curiosity about bicycle culture and manufacturing process. Later followed by self-taught bike mechanics, restoration, converting, upgrading and refurbishment.

Deconstruction of a bicycle to smallest parts and then reconstructing it was a great opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the bicycle as a whole and the endless interaction possibilities of the rider, road, frame, and components installed in it.

The project's aim is to offer an accessible method for bicycle frames fabrication and to demonstrate the linkage of open source technologies in a Do It Yourself culture.
Building a bicycle from scratch is a multidisciplinary Experience. An exciting fabrication process involving art and science, combining design and engineering for the purpose of creating a unique bond between the machine and rider.   The main reason I initiated my research was a lack of resources. since i  could not afford a formal bicycle builder course I end up building my first frame without any previous formal knowledge that will limit future possibilities.  

Design activity is equivalent to storytelling in terms of hierarchy, detailing, prolog, epilog, and punchline, generating positive and negative tension. Embedding a personal approach in raw material by utilizing a form of processing technology, in that sense, the bicycle serves as a platform for anchoring an array of purposes inputs in a communicative output. The frame study case reveals the way it made, for whom, what materials and technologies used, for what purpose, and above all, under the circumstances, it was formed. The frame story is about unfolding behind the scenes of a design quest, in search of a process that eventually will become set of methodologies. The frames created as a part of an active long-term R&D,  8 years, 21  frames and thousands of km it is time, to sum up, the results so far.
