Introduction: 8020 Chopper
8020 is an industrial prototyping extrusion made from aluminium. I used it here to construct a chopper by joining the extrusions with water-jet cut plates of 1/4inch aluminum.
Step 1: Choose and Design the Type of Bike Frame You Wish For
Here are some of the options we designed at an MIT IAP class in 2003.

Step 2: Choose the Connecting Parts From the Part Library or Design Your Own.
These parts will be cut from 1/4 or 1/2inch thick aluminum plate using a water-jet.
