The design teamfield tested the performance of previous hydraulic bicycles and identified the areas ofimprovement as (a) reduction of weight both frame and components, (b) efficiency of thehydraulic drive system, (c) ergonomics of the system and (d) drive train performance.Though Parker provided some material and monetary support, considering their design criteriaand project time span, it was decided that development of such a system based on standarddesign practices would be unrealistic. Therefore, a hybrid design process was established, whereno major components would be designed; instead, existing components available in the
