ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a bicycle, and more particularly to a support leg frame of the bicycle.
2. Description of Related Art
As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, a support leg frame
10
of the prior art is fastened to a chain stay
12
of the bicycle and is formed of a fastening mount
11
and a leg
14
which is pivotally fastened to the fastening mount
11
by a pivot
13
in conjunction with a tension spring
15
. The tension spring
15
is intended to position the leg
14
; nevertheless it is exposed, thereby subjecting the tension spring
15
to rusting. The rusted tension spring
15
undermines not only the function of the support leg frame
10
but also the appearance of the support leg frame
10
.
