Simple, pointed head lugs on this bike boom road bicycle Elaborate hand-cut and filed head lugs which have been outlined in a contrasting colour (luglining) on a Hetchins frame Lugged steel frame construction is a method of building bicycle frames using steel tubing mated with socket-like sleeves, called lugs.
Tange International Co. is a major Japanese manufacturer of high-quality steel tubing [1] for bicycle frames, established before 1920. [2] They are a rival to the British-based tubing manufacturer Reynolds. Where the de facto standard of bicycle tubing from European bike boom bikes is Reynolds steel, the Japanese de facto standard is Tange ...
This page lists notable bicycle brands and manufacturing companies past and present. For bicycle parts, see List of bicycle part manufacturing companies.. Many bicycle brands do not manufacture their own product, but rather import and re-brand bikes manufactured by others (e.g., Nishiki), sometimes designing the bike, specifying the equipment, and providing quality control.

Slotted angle (also sometimes referred to as slotted angle iron) is a system of reusable metal strips used to construct shelving, frames, work benches, equipment stands and other structures. The name derives, first, from the use of elongated slots punched into the metal at uniform intervals to enable assembly of structures fixed with nuts and ...
Rear hub spacing is 120 millimetres (4.7 in) rather than 130 millimetres (5.1 in) or more for road frames. Bottom bracket drop is smaller, typically 50–60 millimetres (2.0–2.4 in). Also the seat tube angle is steeper than on road racing bikes. Alskar Design Design of a modern carbon full suspension mountain bike frame.
Trail decreases as head angle increases (becomes steeper), as fork offset increases, or as wheel diameter decreases. Motorcyclists tend to speak of trail in relation to rake angle. The larger the rake angle, the larger the trail. Note that, on a bicycle, as rake angle increases, head angle decreases. Trail can vary as the bike leans or steers.
Portage strap: a strap (usually made of leather) attached to the inside of the bike frame, designed to make carrying the bike over one's shoulder easier; Pulley wheel: see Jockey wheel; Power meter: a device on a bicycle that measures the power output of the rider; Quick release: a skewer with a lever on one end that loosens when the lever is ...
