Frame design

Does any one know of a programme to design and draw a bike frame? Similar
say to a kitchen design programme, you could choose the angles, wheelbase,
braze on bits, mudguards lights carriers etc. from a menu
I know that many CAD prog's exist that you could use but is there anything
available purposely set up for bike design and much easier to use.

There are a couple of options. Tim Paterek has a free DOS application
for this that will print full-size drawings to a plotter. You can
find it on his Web site as a free download. There's an online program
at IIRC www.bikeforest.com that you can use, although not with as much
detail as you are looking for.
