ABSTRACT:
A bicycle frame of efficient aerodynamic shaping including a main frame structure and fork assembly that employ an integral tension shell, strut and rib design, and integrated construction and assembly techniques, in which the structural components include a lightweight thin integral tension outer shell and lightweight thin inner integral tension struts and ribs arranged to use primarily their high tensile, and shear, but also lesser compression characteristics in combination to produce a very strong, aerodynamic, lightweight, and flex resistant bicycle.
