Bicycle Frame

Bicycle Frames seem to be getting lighter and stronger by the day. Because of this, hauling around a bike is a lot easier than even 15 years ago. Enjoy the maturation of bikes, and get out there and ride.

A Bicycle Frame is the main component of a bicycle, onto which wheels and other components are fitted. The modern and most common frame design for an upright bicycle is based on the safety bicycle, and consists of two triangles, a main triangle and a paired rear triangle. This is known as the diamond frame.

In the diamond Bike Frame, the main triangle consists of the head tube, top tube, down tube and seat tube. The rear triangle consists of the seat tube, and paired chain stays and seat stays. The head tube contains the headset, the interface with the fork. The top tube connects the head tube to the seat tube at the top, and the down tube connects the head tube to the bottom bracket shell.
