Steven- While no where near Doug's experience I'm only a few hours away across the lake. I'm happy to talk with you and offer my help. For a start I would suggest that you study geometry of bikes you already know work for you. There are many on line sources for design paths as well as the basic math. (I use Bike Cad).
One of the first things I'd ask if we were having a beer is what you want your first frame to be. As in what differences from what you already ride and know. Andy.
Hey Andrew, yeah I've been reading non-stop and it's quite a bit to take in. In for a penny, in for a pound right? I will be using bike cad as well as solid works.
My initial plan will be a road or time trial style bike.
