fork?
- If you're talking about the tube that runs across the top of the bike, from saddle to headtube,
that's the top tube.
Quoted message said:The fork down to the chain mechanism?
- That would be the down tube.

- The pair are called chainstays.
Quoted message said:And the rear spoke back to the saddle?
- Those would be the seatstays.

- Seat tube

In general, these are questions best asked in rec.bicycles.tech than in rec.bicycles.racing. This
forum is reserved primarily to flame & insult people who are either wannabe racers, washed-up
has-been racers (count me in this column), present-day racers who spend way too much time on the
'net so it's obvious why they aren't more successful, and a very, very small number of truly
worthwhile posts that get lost in all the drivel.
