    Default 1st post , about to make a carbon tandem frame In Australia

    I have made carbon Epoxy paddles for years (I was a serious Kayak paddler) and have always enjoyed cycling so I have decided to make a tandem frame for the Wife and myself , so I made a jig with engineered alloy extrusions and Have purchased round tubing from a local company In Melbourne Australia , I have made a few test joints with UD and woven carbons under sacrificial tow , and all with wet epoxy resins , the friend who gave me all the alloy also was able to turn up some 44mm rod for making 1 1/8 head tubes (with internal PF30 style cups) and 46mm rod for making PF30 BB shells , I have made test pieces of those already with 4 layers of 200gsm woven carbon . cheers Ian
