Mountain Bike Frames Materials And Designs
Mountain bike frames have evolved from a cross between road frames, BMX’s and cyclo-cross frames. The first bikes had normal calliper brakes, like on road and BMX bikes, then cantilever brakes were taken from cyclo-cross, so bosses had to be welded on to the forks and seat stays and after that disc brakes had to have fittings lower down on the frame, gears also had to have special fittings welded on the frame.
