How to calculate the proportions of your Bike

Why is 1,618 so important to know when building a bike?

Thoughts please.

Thats strange it works for me. Maybe if you copy and paste 1,618 into YOUTube this might work.

Maybe I should have explained better, thoughts on the 1,618 formula please.
Not the entertainment aspect of the video.

the number isn't strictly 1618, I use π/2 (pi/2) or 1.57 all the time.
but most of my stuff is just pushed around till it looks right anyway.

I built a listening room to that ratio- short wall 1.618 * ceiling height, long wall 1.618* short wall. This drastically reduces standing waves and therefore resonant nodes, in the room.

One word.... BULL....
The overall looks of a bike is about flow.... not some silly number calculated to minus 1.618 of any given part or dimension.
Someone is stuck on themselves... and think they know the answer to life.
The Japanese think they have the answer...its called "feng shui"... should I do a video for that?
Symmetry.....there is no measurement for it... it just IS....

I agree that building a café using the formula and building a café not using the formula isn't going to alter the way both these bikes operate.
I find it very interesting however that some major automobile manufactures and possibly some motorcycle manufactures use such formulas when drafting plans to produce new vehicles. a lot more thought goes into these than previously realised.
I wonder if Ryca takes this into account?
