You are designing a bicycle to compete against a standard off the shelf model. In competing you need to know what information is required to begin your design and ensure that it succeeds (i.e. solves the problem). What do you need? The water bottle size that be accomodated? The pressure required to activate the breaks? The seat density? The material density of the pedals? None, right? (yes that is right - go back and correct yourself as necessary). Getting the correct information is important and while insufficient information is not good, having too much is also not ideal. At the very least you have a very inefficient use of your time as you now are sorting through your seat densities and water bottle models while trying to get the actual information that you may need (mass, sizes, top speeds, etc.).
