Every bicycle component is contributing to the purpose and performance of the ride.In order to pay particular attention to the frame, we should be, knowing enough to understand size, symmetry and materials so as to get the right frame that fits us, our riding style, and purpose.
The design of the bike frame has not changed over the years, but the materials that have gone on in the making have immensely contributed in evolving bicycle performances. Obviously, the bikes have tremendously improved.

Even steel bicycle frames progressively got lighter by making the tubes thinner, and joining them without using lugs.
