Frame

The bike frame is crucial for performance and fit, with materials like aluminum for durability, carbon fiber for lightweight comfort, and steel for resilience. It can feature internal or external cable routing, affecting both aesthetics and maintenance.

Frames can support disc brakes for powerful stopping or rim brakes for lighter weight. Geometry and size determine fit and handling, while UCI compliance is key for competitive racing.

Ensure the frame matches your bottom bracket (BB) standard and is compatible with electronic shifting systems and hydraulic hoses if using disc brakes. Proper compatibility is essential for optimal performance and integration.
