RIGID FRAME WITH HIGH-COMPLIANCE SEAT TUBE AND INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
A bicycle can include a forward frame triangle that can include a top tube, a bottom tube, a bottom bracket, a structural seat tube, a compliant seat tube, and a pair of seat stays. The top tube can have a first end connected to a head tube and a second end. The bottom tube can have a first end connected to the head tube. The bottom bracket can be connected to the bottom tube. The structural seat tube can be connected to the bottom bracket and the top tube. The compliant seat tube can extend in an upward direction from the bottom bracket to the top tube and within the structural seat tube. The compliant seat tube can be coupled to the forward frame triangle such that the compliant seat post can bend within the structural seat tube.
ADAPTER FOR DISC BRAKE CALIPER OF HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
An adapter body is configured to be attached to a vehicle body in each of a first orientation in which a caliper body is coupled to the vehicle body via the adapter body in a first position corresponding to a first disc brake rotor having a first outer diameter, and a second orientation in which the caliper body is coupled to the vehicle body via the adapter body in a second position corresponding to a second disc brake rotor having a second outer diameter different from the first outer diameter. The indicator is configured to indicate an correspondence between an orientation of the adapter body and at least one of the first disc brake rotor and the second disc brake rotor.

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CONTROLLER, HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM, AND BICYCLE
The invention obtains a hydraulic pressure controller whose control of a braking force is suppressed from becoming unstable. The invention also obtains a hydraulic brake system that includes such a hydraulic pressure controller, and a bicycle.
A hydraulic pressure controller 110 controls hydraulic pressure of a brake fluid that is at least supplied to a front-wheel braking section 17 of a bicycle 200, and includes: a base section that is formed with a channel, through which the brake fluid flows, therein; a valve that is attached to the base section and opens and closes the channel; and a coupling section that couples the base section to the bicycle 200. The coupling section is coupled to a turning section 10 of the bicycle 200, the turning section 10 turning about an axis of a head tube 1A.
BRAKE PIPING STRUCTURE FOR SADDLED VEHICLES
To provide a brake piping structure for saddled vehicle which can reduce the number of restraining members used for brake piping and allow brake piping to avoid interfering with other parts. The brake piping structure for saddled vehicles includes a pair of left and right rear frames connected to a rear portion of a vehicle body frame of a saddled vehicle and supporting a seat, a swing arm swingably supported, via a pivot, by the vehicle body frame, and brake piping which conveys hydraulic pressure generated by an ABS modulator to a rear brake caliper for a rear wheel. The ABS modulator is disposed between the pair of left and right rear frames. The brake piping extends from the ABS modulator forward and downward of the vehicle body along the rear frame and is, by being curved rearward of the vehicle body in front of the pivot and then by being routed under the swing arm, connected to the rear brake caliper.

Bicycle end cap
A bicycle end cap has a first end and a second end that is opposite to the first end for attaching to a bicycle line shape member. The bicycle end cap includes a tubular portion and an attachment structure. The tubular portion is arranged at the first end and defining a receiving space that is dimensioned to axially receive the line shape member from the first end. The attachment structure is configured to attach a pulling member having a cable portion and a head portion that has larger diameter than the cable portion. The attachment structure is configured to position the head portion relative to the tubular portion as the cable portion is pulled toward the second end.
BIKE FRAME
A bike frame includes including a seat tube (10) configured to receive a seatpost (2), a front portion comprising a top tube (13) connecting the seat tube (10) to a head tube (16), the seat tube (10), the top tube (13). The head tube (16) extends in a plane of symmetry of the bike frame (1). A rear portion has two chain stays (11a, 11b) and two seat stays (12a, 12b) arranged symmetrically relative to the plane of symmetry of the bike frame (1). Each seat stay (12a, 12b) has a perpendicular cross-sectional profile that is elongated in a direction parallel to the plane of symmetry. The two seat stays (12a, 12b) are independent of each other and the two seat stays (12a, 12b) have a preform that is curved along at least one arc in a plane passing through the two seat stays, so as to enable the two seat stays to move away from or closer to each other under the action of a vertical load.
STRADDLE-TYPE VEHICLE
A straddle-type vehicle includes a driver seat on which a driver rides, a cylinder head of an engine arranged in a region in front of and below the driver seat, an exhaust pipe that is connected to an exhaust port formed on a front surface of the cylinder head and exhausts exhaust of the engine, and a control unit that is arranged in an engine front space formed in front of the cylinder head, above the exhaust pipe, and below an upper end surface of the engine and controls the straddle-type vehicle.
