Had a play on CAD last night and created the geometry (for CAD pervs I did it as a weldment in Solidworks) - Aside from being a mildly amusing exercise it has a few benefits:
1) useful to finalise detail (e.g. bridge/eye locations for mudguards) & communicate design intent with builder
2) handy for future reference (e.g. making a frame bag or checking tyre/wheel combos)
3) basic FEA modelling - e.g. check whether proposed cable-routing holes are a really stupid idea
