Step 4Creating a model

Creating a model
First make a sketch, and remember triangles are your friends. Once you have an idea of what the bike should look like, assemble a model. Either make a scale model out of wooden dowels or make one on the computer. Model all your parts accurately and to scale. You will do this to make sure there is spare room for your parts, that there will be a clear chain line, and that your parts will be able to be mounted properly.
