In this video, recorded at the 2016 International Cycle History Conference, Harriet Fell, who built one of the original frames in the 1974 MIT Independent Activities Period aluminum bicycle frame project, describes that project, the research which student Marc Rosenbaum conducted as an outgrowth of the project, and later events including a patent lawsuit over aluminum frames against Cannondale by Gary Klein. Fell and Rosenbaum played parts in the legal case; his bicycle hangs in the MIT Museum and she is still riding hers as of 2018.
