Time lapse video showing the process of creating the frame for my carbon fibre bike.

UPDATE 2020:

The bike still runs and I am not dead lol.

I created a foam core model of a bike frame, I then built a very poor 2x4 fixture. I used aluminum bottom brackets, head tube, and rear dropouts for the frame. I wrapped these components in fibreglass to prevent galvanic corrosion. I then wrapped the entire frame in carbon fibre coated in epoxy. I used electrical tape, sticky side out, to compress the frame and used a baseboard heater to cure the epoxy. Cure time was about 3 days.
