DMO stands for 'Dennis
Michael Oliver', Dennis is my Granddad (a retired fabricator and sheet metal worker from
Jaguar), Michael is my Dad (a retired engineer from BMW) and Oliver is me (a
Mechanical engineer).
My first frame
(currently under construction) is aimed at Bike Packing mountain bikers. In a nutshell
Bike Packing entails strapping all your kit onto a bike for one, two or more
nights out in the wilderness!
The frame itself
combines various grades and thicknesses of off the shelf and custom steel
tubing to make a frame which is light, stiff where it needs to be and
importantly compliant enough for comfortable multiday riding.
When taking part
in multiday Bike Packing events exciting singletrack can be few and far between
- it is for this reason that a frame which makes the most of these infrequent
highlights should hopefully serve to make Bike Packing that much more enjoyable
- that is the aim of the DMO Element.
In the coming
weeks (and hopefully not too many months) I will chart the progress of my first
frame here on my blog - hope you like it!!
Cheers,
Olly
