bicycle-geometry

An interactive bicycle frame illustrator.

Ever wondered how the specs of the bike you have been eyeballing compares to your current bike visually?

How does a bicycle designed for front-loading compare to a Wabi fixed-gear frame?

Using this tool, you can:

  1. design and visualise bicycle frames
  2. save & share your designs with the public
  3. compare bicycle frames

You can use the it here.

How to interpret measurements

Commonly Asked Questions

  • Can I save(or print) these visualizations or measurements as an image?

For the moment, use your browser's print functionality(ctrl-p or ⌘-p). BicycleGeometryIllustrator produces pretty good print output. I will later add an easy-access button for this function.

  • The bike I'm looking for is not in here

Then you should add it here!

  1. Just copy & paste the information from the spec sheet to here
  2. Give it a name (click ✎)
  3. Save it (click ⇅)
  • I want to be able to measure X (trail, handlebar-reach, standover-height etc.)

I will add trail calculation soon, the other measurements (which depend on more components (saddle, step, handlebar)) are within my plans.

  • The illustration looks wrong

The illustration is purely a representation of what the specs/measurements are. However there can be different ways of measuring the same component (top-tube can be measured center to center or by measuring the horizontal projection). This tool uses center-to-center measurements only and the support for alternatives will be added soon.

  • I love this and I'd like to help/contribute!

(I confess, nobody said this (yet) and I'm being presumptuous.) This project is entirely free and open and will remain that way. If you would like to help you can:

  • report bugs and suggest features at the Issues page
  • contribute to the code. the TODO.txt file has the list of tasks
