First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A stand for a bicycle and or bicycle frame stand comprising:
a first leg element,
a second leg element which forms an angle of less than or equal to 90° with the first leg element,
wherein the first leg element has a terminal end spaced from and opposite the second leg element, the terminal end comprises a slot-shaped bicycle receiving element for a bicycle component of the bicycle, the slot-shaped bicycle receiving element having an opening directed to an outer side of the first leg element for receiving the bicycle component,
wherein the second leg element has a frame receiving element for a bicycle frame component, the frame receiving element having a cylindrical opening for receiving a fixing element,
wherein the frame receiving element is configured for connection with rear dropouts of the bicycle frame,
wherein the first leg element serves as a ground contact element when the stand is in a first position,
wherein the second leg element serves as the ground contact element when the stand is in a second position, and
wherein, in the first position, at least a portion of the terminal end including the slot-shaped bicycle receiving element is in direct contact with the ground and, in the second position, the terminal end including the slot-shaped bicycle receiving element is spaced from the ground and is configured to receive the bicycle component.

2. The stand of claim 1 , wherein the frame receiving element is configured to be arranged between two rear dropouts of the bicycle frame for fixation of the bicycle frame.

3. The stand of claim 1 , wherein the frame receiving element has a length of 14-18 cm, and the cylindrical opening extends in the longitudinal direction.

4. The stand of claim 1 , wherein the frame receiving element is fixedly connected with the second leg element.

5. A bicycle frame transport container comprising:
an outer container and the bicycle frame stand of claim 1 arranged in the outer container.

6. The bicycle frame transport container of claim 5 , comprising a fork fixing element arranged in the outer container.

7. The stand of claim 3 , wherein the frame receiving element has a length of 15-17 cm.

8. The stand of claim 4 , wherein the frame receiving element is integrally formed with the second leg element.
