Field notes

The project says it places and dimensions parts using real interface geometry, including bottom-bracket widths, headset stack heights and dropout spacing. Its listed sources include ETRTO, SHIS and ISO 4210, and it says approximation is labeled where published figures are unavailable. The stated device limits exclude phone-based building, though phones can view bikes.
