    Abstract: A bicycle comprises front and rear wheels, a frame, a seat post, and a damping member. An upper portion of the seat post is movable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position. The damping member couples the seat post to the frame to dampen movement of the upper portion of the seat post. The damping member can be positioned at least partially in a top tube of the frame. Preferably, the seat post flexes when the upper portion of the seat post moves. The frame further includes a securing location for securing the seat post, and the securing location is a distance from the upper end of the seat tube that is at least 30% of a length of a seat tube. The seat post has a front-to-rear width, and the seat tube has a rear wall spaced from the seat post by a gap that is at least 25% of a front-to-rear width of the seat post.

    Abstract: A bicycle including a frame, a fork rotationally coupled to the frame within a head tube of the frame, and a wheel rotationally coupled to the fork. The fork has a steerer tube, and the bicycle further includes a stem that is coupled to the steerer tube, and a handlebar coupled to the stem for steering the wheel. The handlebar supports an actuator adapted to control a bicycle component. The bicycle also includes a cable housing that is disposed in the handlebar, and a cable that is coupled to the actuator and routed internally within the handlebar and the stem toward the head tube. The portion of the cable within the handlebar is routed through the cable housing, and the portion of the cable within the stem is exposed.

    Abstract: A bicycle according to the present disclosure comprises a frame assembly and a front fork. The frame assembly includes a head tube defining a steering axis. The front fork is rotatably coupled to the head tube and includes upper and lower supports aligned with the steering axis. The upper and lower supports project away from the fork assembly and rotationally couple the front fork assembly to the head tube. A buttress is coupled to the upper and lower supports at upper and lower buttress ends. A pair of laterally spaced fork legs project from the buttress lower end at one end of the fork legs. The buttress is disposed forward of the head tube and has a lateral width which tapers from a first width at the buttress lower end to a second width at the buttress upper end.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a bicycle comprising front and rear wheels and a frame including a main frame having a head tube and a top tube secured to the head tube at an intersection spaced from an upper end of the head tube. The intersection has a first lateral width, and the head tube above the intersection includes a tapered portion that tapers to a second lateral width narrower than the first lateral width. For example, the first lateral width can be at least three percent wider than the second lateral width. In one embodiment, the head tube above the tapered portion includes a flared portion that flares to a third lateral width wider (e.g., at least ten percent wider) than the second lateral width. In addition, the tapered portion can include a length that is larger (e.g., at least one hundred percent larger) than the second lateral width.
