ABSTRACT:
A swing arm member is pivotally mounted on the frame of a bicycle on one end thereof, in a position which is essentially neutral relative to the bicycle's chain pull and fixedly attached to the rear wheel axle at the other end. A shock absorber is interconnected between the swing arm and a point on the frame along the seat tube thereof. The seat tube, which forms part of the frame, is in one piece and is positioned directly in front of a gusset in the swing arm. The seat tube has an upper portion which receives the seat post and a lower portion offset rearwardly from the upper portion, the lower and upper portions being joined together by a curved portion. The shock absorber is positioned directly behind the curved portion of the seat tube. A brake actuating arm is pivotally mounted on the swing arm and provides additional leverage for actuating the brake.
