Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Gather customer information
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Customer requirements and riding style are assessed through observation, discussion and taking measurements
   • Sizing cycle or other methods are used to determine optimum bicycle set-up
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
2. Select bicycle frame
   • Suitable frame types are identified that match customer requirements
   • Frame specifications, design and availability are researched using various sources of information
   • Bicycle frame is selected to match customer physical attributes and intended use
   • Frame measurements are calculated, and frame material and build method are selected
3. Select wheels
   • Wheel size that suits frame measurements is determined
   • Rims, spokes and hub types that suit customer needs are identified
   • Features and benefits of different wheel designs and components are discussed and determined with the customer
   • Stock wheels and components are selected or custom wheel design is chosen and specifications are calculated
4. Select components
   • Options for components are researched and discussed with customer
   • Components are selected that meet customer design and price preferences
5. Confirm bicycle details
   • Custom paint requirements are specified, as required
   • Components and parts are listed and details of availability are confirmed
   • Costs are calculated and documented, and customer approval is obtained for work
6. Assemble components
   • Work area is prepared and work is planned to minimise waste and use time efficiently
   • Customer approved components are prepared for assembly
   • Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Bicycle and selected components are assembled and lubricated and fastener tensions adjusted according tomanufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
   • Assembled bicycle is inspected and tested for correct tension of components and operation, and adjusted as required according to workplace procedures
7. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and custom bicycle is presented ready for use
   • Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
   • Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures
   • Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
