Hey!
Good luck!
Anyway, Physics is the law that decides if your method works, Everything else is just an opinion.
I agree 100% that this project is going to teach you plenty of things. All learning is good learning. Kör på!
Since, you are in the profession maybe i can make a few technical comments for your consideration.
1) You use a weave. I would estimate the stiffness in the fiber direction to be somewhere around 50-60 GPa in best case for T700. It would be reasonable to do a knockdown on that number due to sub optimal compaction during manufacturing. So let's say 45-50 GPa in in- plane stiffness. (Steel: 210 GPa and Aluminum 69 GPa). However having a 2-2.5 mm wall thickness could work because bending stiffness increses to the third power of thickness. So you should be fine on that bit.
2) Torsional stiffness? You have a circular section in some areas. It makes sense to have fibers in + and - 45 degrees. Do you have them?. The torsional stiffness of a circular tube with fibers along its length is normally in the order of the In-plane shear stiffness of the laminate. This is normally in the around 3-5 GPa. The strength should be around 100-150 MPa for an ideal composite. This is dependent on the matrix/resin. However since the tape method doesnt give good hydrostatic resin pressure, the resin properties might be compromised. My advice, If you dont have fibers in +- 45 degrees, Please add them to your existing tube. Shouldn't be hard.
3) Compression Strength. You are going to have to put inhuman amount of watts to break the fibers in tension. However, the waviness of fibers can heavily influence the fiber compression strength. Also, the tape method compromises the resin. So, finger crossed on that one!
(My gut feeling: you should be fine!, composites fail progressively contrary to popular belief)
4) Joining the tubes. I am on the fence with this one since i can't really recommend any process other than one with a pressurized setup. Some reasonable ideas brought up by Kid1000 but i have a feeling that we might be missing the source of the potential problem here. There is a company called Filament bikes that uses this technique. You can look it up on their website. However, this technique in my opinion is not an efficient one.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that the only tube joining technique that i would actually trust is the one used by Bob Parlee (the unparalleled master of carbon road bikes) and Time. Parlee's technique on the Z series frame is very elegant. Replicating and adapting to your process will not burn a big hole in your pocket. But it does cost a lot of time.
Good on you for trying to build this bike. I do sincerely hope that you have a great learning experience and an even better time riding the bike.
I built a mini wind turbine blade out of glass fiber while i was in university. I used Styrofoam, balsa wood profiles and Spackel to make a master plug and made composite moulds out of it. Worked well.
P.S: Alfalfa, I do not have anything to do with Koenigsegg or Rolo as you guessed. However, I have developed certain cars in the past that are known to go from 0-100 k/h faster than a Koenigsegg ;-)
Good comment on the Papier Maiche. If structural estimations of Carbon fiber were that straight forward, I should be out of a job pretty soon :-D. I hope you aren't planning on letting my employers know about it :-D
