A bicycle frame includes a head tube, a top tube, a down tube, a pair of
chainstays, a pair of seatstays, and a rear wheel fender providing
structural support to the bicycle frame. A seat tube is provided that
does not extend to a bottom bracket of the bicycle. For example, the seat
tube can be attached only to the top tube. The bottom bracket can be an
integral component of the down tube. Bicycles are also described that
include the present bicycle frames.
