Bicycle Frame

A bicycle frame is the main component of a bicycle, on to 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.

Famous quotes containing the words bicycle and/or frame:

    I well recall my horror when I heard for the first time, of a journalist who had laid in a pair of what were then called bicycle pants and taken to golf; it was as if I had encountered a studhorse with his hair done up in frizzes, and pink bowknots peeking out of them. It seemed, in some vague way, ignominious, and even a bit indelicate.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    But angels come to lead frail minds to rest
    In chaste desires, on heavenly beauty bound.
    You frame my thoughts, and fashion me within;
    You stop my tongue, and teach my heart to speak;
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
