At Heavy Bikes we utilize Foundry Casting Systems’s Pascal Process for pressurized solidification of sand casted parts. The build process starts with a custom bike fit which drives the 3d printed sand mold design. We fill the mold with molten A356 aluminum. The pressurized solidification ensures a properly filled part with enhanced mechanical properties. We then bust the mold with a sledgehammer, heat treatment then machining of all the interface and art surfaces. We built the Hypocrite to explore the limits of thin wall casting while adding compliance to a single piece bike frame. The ride of the bike built by our friend Jay Hollywood Henderson is one of a new sense of momentum not found on hollow tubular bikes. this paired with the bikes nimble wheel base provides a connected feel unique to Heavy Bikes
