framesets?

skyline92

ok, so i am fairly new, young, and stupid. what does the term frameset refer to when buying a bike? just the frame? or the frame and fork? or does it depend where you buy said frameset from? they dont have a component list, but show pictures of full bikes, so would kind of like to know what you get for your money. thanks

I'm pretty sure it means just the frame.

Just the frame IIRC.

it's a run over from road biking, where it is frame, headset, fork and seatpost.

frameset usually includes headset and seatpost in mtb.

Would a frameset include the seat post clamp too?

the last frameset I bought included the seatclamp and frame, nothing else
the one prior to that, no seatclamp

I've never had a headset included.

but then I'd say the terms frameset and frame are interchangeable. easiest is to ask the supplier.

R_W is right though, it's a hangover from roadbiking where the fork (and thus the headset) was included. Back then the seatclamps were mostly welded tot he frame so were included by default.

Pace do a thing they call a rolling chassis, which includes frame, fork, headset and wheels (i think no seatclamp...) but no tyres etc etc
