Current progress on the bike frame. I managed to get the top tube mitered, which was the last tube in the front triangle of the frame.
I was also able to use a lathe to remove some of the sidewall on the chainstays and fit the rear dropouts. This is an essential step for getting the bike project off the ground, and I am very glad I have the tools to do this now.

I finally got the chainstays and seatstays complete, finding a jig and welding remain the final steps of making the frame.

Head tube is now cut to proper length, next step is finding a jig to hold all of the tubes together.

I'm really curious to know how you managed to print a giant piece of paper the size of a bike. Did you have to go to a commercial print shop? How much did it cost to print out the design?

The local university that I am attending for a masters degree has a poster printing service at it's library. It was about 41 dollars to get this printed, and I think it was worth it.

Currently working on getting a jig ready to hold the tubes together. The jig I am using is based on the design seen here in this instructables tutorial.

Finally got the courage today to ride a 5 foot tall unicycle without holding onto a wall.
