ABSTRACT:
A blank tube constituting a main frame for a two-wheeled vehicle, comprises a main tubular portion having thicker walls in the proximity of its ends subjected to the largest forces and tubular expanded portions extending from the ends of the tube for receiving a head tube and a seat tube without using separate parts such as lugs. The blank tube further comprises a gradually enlarged diameter portion adjacent to the tubular expanded portions to more improve the strength of the tube.
The thicker walls, tubular expanded portions and gradually enlarged diameter portion are formed simultaneously in dies by bulging. Moreover, the dies are formed with recesses, so that the blank tube is formed with protrusions. The protrusions are formed with apertures for passing brake wires or electric wires through the tube. The main tubular portion of the blank tube is formed in a particular cross-section effectively increasing its strength by pressing by means of the dies including corresponding sectional cavities.
