a 2006 Tete de Course, designed for road racing, with a head angle that varies from 71.25° to 74°, depending on frame size. Due to front fork suspension, modern mountain bikes—as opposed to road bikes—tend to have slacker head tube angles, generally around 70°, although they can be as low as 62° (depending on frame geometry setting).

Three most common manufacturers are Campagnolo, FSA and Cane Creek. Head tubes with this standard have a 42.0 mm inner diameter. Cane Creek Standard: 36/45. Very common on mountain bike frames and a fair number of road frames. Most frames made by Giant that have integrated head-tubes use this standard (which amounts to a lot of bicycles).
The head tube contains the headset, the interface with the fork. The top tube connects the head tube to the seat tube at the top. The top tube may be positioned horizontally (parallel to the ground), or it may slope downwards towards the seat tube for additional stand-over clearance. The down tube connects the head tube to the bottom bracket shell.
2020 full suspension mountain bike. A mountain bike (MTB [1]) or mountain bicycle is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling. Mountain bikes share some similarities with other bicycles, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain, which often makes them heavier, more complex and less efficient on smooth surfaces.

A bicycle head tube with a partially installed bicycle headset; the locknut has yet to be fitted onto the fork steerer tube. The head tube is the part of a cycle's tubular frame within which the front fork steerer tube is mounted. [1] On a motorcycle, the "head tube" is normally called the steering head. On bicycles the manufacturer's brand ...
Down tube: tube on the bicycle frame that runs from the head tube to the bottom bracket Dropout : a bicycle rear fork end that allows the rear wheel to be removed without first derailing the chain. The term dropout is often incorrectly used to refer to any fork end , but not all fork ends are dropouts

The steerer tube of the fork interfaces with the frame via bearings called a headset mounted in the head tube. At the bottom of the fork, fork ends hold the wheel. Usually, either the axle is bolted to the fork, or a quick release skewer passes through a hollow axle, clamping the axle to the fork. A bicycle dropout (drop out, frame end, or fork ...
