Cycle Design is now compiling works of Freddy Parr on DVD
Contents include the history of tubing development and joining from the very first efforts prior to WW1.
Considerable review in detail of previous "Framebuilding" books including updates in detail of what was then and what is now.
This work will provide anyone with basic shop skills the knowledge to construct frames using commercially made tools and jigs, but also includes chapters on constructing them in the shop.
Highlighted is the "Cage & Keel" jigging for Bicycle Frames a correct departure from the inherently flawed jigs commonly used throughout the cycling world, this approach uses the same configurations as built thousands of Hughes Helicopters.
Chapters on "Dynamic Alignment" for rider/cycle compliance and durability ( The invisible differences in ride) and laid out in a step by step inspection / installation orientation / joining sequence detail with simple instruction to construct inspection tools to find the soft spots (torsional and or lateral ) present in every tube made, regardless of type or heat treat.
Tube reshaping and bending, (CerroBend 101) Class details Chapter
This work is presented as a Passport to High Performance but will soon be followed by a second CD on Finish and Paint.
The Mysteries of what rods and fluxes to use for joining and details of what makes some rods perform better than others.
Once digested even the new -first time builder will excel with a closer fitted more compliant and desirable result.
