"This is a nice concept but it isn't a viable product without physical proto's being tested. You will learn more from two coat hangers, a milk jug and a bunch of zipties than your hours of rendering will ever teach you (even with stress analysis software). If you go through all these steps and bring it to your boss but the concept is untested, he'll ask you why you wasted so much time and payroll "dominating" your concept art. If you want to focus on concept art or advertising pitches, there are jobs that do that for sure. Also, chain stay uppers have different angles which will effect your tire clearance, make sure those QR clamps have notched rotation worked into them. "
