If Dan Connelly is still around, he might be able to help you out. The
email address on his web page is djc### [at] flash net, and you can see his
bike at http://www.flash.net/~djconnel/POV/bike.jpg but unless I'm mistaken,
he hasn't posted here in a very long time.

Sorry, here is what I am using now... I suspect I will need to make my
cylinders differently so that their end circles are tilted correctly.
#declare R = 0.25;
#declare C1 = function { x*x + z*z - R*R }
#declare C2 = function { y*y + z*z - R*R }
isosurface {
function { C1(x+y,y,z)
* C2(x,y,z)
- 0.001
}
method 1
accuracy 0.001
contained_by{sphere{0,3}}
pigment {rgb .9}
finish { ambient 0.25 }
}

Hello Bill,
Making the bicycle frame with an isosurface
is not an easy task, but the code below may
give you some hints.
(Note that I'm not sure if the possibility
to treat functions like I do below was
provided intentionally by the authors of
MegaPOV.)
Best regards,
