Bicycle CAD Ended

About the job

Hi
I’m looking to collaborate with a skilled CAD designer who has experience in bicycle or mechanical frame design, ideally with some familiarity with mountain bikes or suspension systems

I’m developing a new downhill/freeride frame that will serve as the foundation for a small, high-end bike brand I’m launching. The goal is to create a strong, manufacturable prototype ready for fabrication with a domestic partner.

Project Overview:
Type: Downhill / Freeride full-suspension frame
Material: [Aluminum 6061 or 7075 / Chromoly / Titanium — specify your choice]
Rear travel: ~[200mm]
Wheel size: [29”, 27.5”, or mixed mullet setup]
Shock: [Trunnion / Metric mount, specify stroke/eye-to-eye if known]
Design focus: Clean lines, durability, and manufacturability
Goal: Deliver manufacturable CAD model (.STEP or .IGES) and 2D engineering drawings with dimensions and tolerances
Deliverables:
3D CAD model of the full frame assembly (front triangle + rear triangle/linkage)
Geometry chart with key measurements (reach, stack, BB drop, head angle, etc.)
Manufacturing-ready .STEP or .IGES file
2D drawings suitable for fabrication and quoting
(Optional) Motion study / linkage analysis or FEA (if you can provide this)
What I’ll Provide:
Initial concept sketches and geometry targets
Suspension layout preferences (or linkage concept if applicable)
Example reference frames and desired visual style
Notes on shock compatibility, axle spacing, and standards (Boost, ISCG, etc.)... read more

Initial concept sketches and geometry targets
Suspension layout preferences (or linkage concept if applicable)
Example reference frames and desired visual style
Notes on shock compatibility, axle spacing, and standards (Boost, ISCG, etc.)
Ideal Candidate:
Experience with bicycle or e-bike frame design
Strong proficiency in SolidWorks or Fusion 360
Knowledge of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) principles
Understanding of tube mitering, weld zones, and suspension kinematics
Able to iterate based on manufacturer feedback
Timeline & Scope:
I’d like to start with a single prototype frame design (estimated 20–40 hours of CAD work depending on complexity). If it goes well, this could lead to additional models or iterations for production.
Next Steps:
If you’re interested, please reply with:
A short description of your relevant experience
Portfolio examples (especially any bicycle or mechanical frame work)
Your preferred hourly rate or fixed price for this scope
Software used and typical file formats you deliver
Thanks for taking the time to review this, I’m excited to bring this frame from concept to reality and would love to collaborate with the right designer.
Best regards,
