Abstract:
A bicycle comprises a main frame defining a spring mount, a pivot mount, and a reinforcing strut substantially directly connecting the spring mount to the pivot mount. The reinforcing strut is asymmetrically positioned on one side of the central plane. A rear frame is movable relative to the main frame, a pivot link couples the main frame to the rear frame, and a spring assembly couples a portion of the pivot link to the main frame. The pivot link comprises a left link member, a right link member, and a link bridge connecting the left link member to the right link member. Preferably, the link bridge is positioned rearward of a seat tube on the main frame. The rear frame comprises a seatstay bridge connecting a left and right seatstays. The main frame can support a crank assembly having a chainring offset from the central plane on the same side as the reinforcing strut.

Claim (Index 1):
A bicycle comprising:\n a front wheel and a rear wheel, the rear wheel defining a central plane of the bicycle; and a frame assembly supported by the front wheel and the rear wheel, the frame assembly including:\n a main frame defining a spring mount, a pivot mount, and a reinforcing strut substantially directly connecting the spring mount to the pivot mount, the reinforcing strut being asymmetrically positioned on one side of the central plane and wherein there is no other corresponding reinforcing strut on an other side of the central plane opposite the one side; \n a rear frame movable relative to the main frame; \n a pivot link coupling the main frame to the rear frame, the pivot link being pivotally coupled to the main frame at the pivot mount, wherein the pivot link comprises:\n a left link member; \n a right link member; and \n a link bridge connecting the left link member to the right link member to form a substantially rigid link structure; \n \n and \n a spring assembly coupling a portion of the pivot link to the main frame, the spring assembly being coupled to the main frame at the spring mount.
