Hi All,

I'm a composite stress engineer for an aircraft company. As a mean to develop my knowledge of composite stress and also because I'm really interested by bikes, I have decided to try and design a composite bicycle. Remember Miguel Indurain's Espada made by Pinarello? That's what I'm working on.

However, to do that, I need to indentify the critical load cases that I should to consider to size the frame. Any idea anyone where I could find that sort of details?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
SkyD
