ABSTRACT:
A method of molding generally hollow components and assemblies for a bicycle frame including molded composite materials, such as unidirectional structural fibers impregnated with a heat curable synthetic resin. Opposing parts of at least two adjacent wall sections are overlapped to form a shell and the overlapped parts are compressed together between an external mold and an internal pressing member, such as an inflatable bladder. The shell is then cured while under compression to provide a pressure molded juncture integrally uniting the wall sections and forming a generally hollow bicycle frame component.
