Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A bicycle frame includes a first frame member and a second frame member configured to be pivotally connected to the first frame member about a pivot axis. The first frame member includes a threaded hole, through which a fixing bolt for fixing a mounting member of a bicycle front derailleur to the first frame member passes, and an abutting portion configured to restrict rotation of a mounting member of a bicycle front derailleur around the fixing bolt by abutting the mounting member. The threaded hole is located on a front side of the pivot axis.
First claim

What is claimed is: 1 . A bicycle frame comprising: a first frame member and a second frame member configured to be pivotally connected to the first frame member about a pivot axis, wherein the first frame member includes a threaded hole through which a fixing bolt for fixing a mounting member of a bicycle front derailleur to the first frame member passes and includes an abutting portion configured to restrict rotation of the mounting member around the fixing bolt by abutting the mounting member of the bicycle front derailleur, and the threaded hole is located on a front side of the pivot axis. 2 . The bicycle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the first frame member is a chain stay of the bicycle frame, and the second frame member is a seat tube of the bicycle frame. 3 . The bicycle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the abutting portion is located on the front side of the pivot axis. 4 . The bicycle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the abutting portion is elongated and extends in a longitudinal direction of the second frame member. 5 . The bicycle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the abutting portion is one of a protrusion and an elongated recess. 6 . A bicycle frame comprising: a second frame member and a first frame member configured to be pivotally connected to the second frame member about a pivot axis, wherein the second frame member includes a bottom bracket hanger to which a bottom bracket is attached, wherein the first frame member includes a first threaded hole through which a first fixing bolt for fixing a mounting member of a bicycle front derailleur to the first frame member passes and includes second threaded hole through which a second fixing bolt for fixing amounting member of a bicycle front derailleur to the first frame member passes, and the first and second threaded holes are located on a front side of the pivot axis. 7 . The bicycle frame according to claim 6 , wherein the first frame member is a chain stay of the bicycle frame, and the second frame member is a seat tube of the bicycle frame.
