We didnt know Ingo personally, we just conacted him 
Tubes came from: Zonenschein, Wowbike and Huahsines.
About dimensioning, well Peter has an engineering backround and we got recommendations from Kavenz bikes and others. And then we mostly added a bit on top

We bought the tubes all over the place, wherever we would get them :D
Welding was done by a professional welder, including heat treatment afterwards. Because yeah, you need to know what you are doing, when welding aluminium, and i dont

The welding (and heat treatment) was done by Ingo Müller.
He is also welding the Kavenz Bikes for example. I'd say he's pretty good

Get Linkage Design (https://www.bikechecker.com/) and Design your suspension and geometry.
Then find someone who knows how to translate that into CAD

Gearbox GT Fury

Yeah, we went save, especially on the chain- & seatstays in terms of wall thickness.
But i'm pretty happy with the overall weight of 17,9 Kgs.
There is no Carbon on the bike (except the handlebar), the rims are amongst the strongest on the market, the tires are true DH-Casings and no air shock.
First ride was quite a blast

Thx!
It's the 6-Gear Version with 295% range. Pretty much the same Range as a SRAM DH 7-Gear Setup.
The reason for the Gearbox was first of all less unsprung weight on the rear wheel (about 450g),
which makes the suspension more active and supple / plush. Which is the whole point of a DH-Bike suspension i'd say.
The weight also sits perfectly low in the frame and makes the bike feel super planted and stable (low center of gravity).
No derailleur to rip off, super low maintainance, always perfect chainline, no cassette to clog with mud, etc. is also quite nice
I do not intend to pedal it uphill ever, or any other bike ^^
