Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A frame according to the preceding claim, characterized in that said laminar three-lobe structure is formed by two specularly identical semilobes, connected at the vehicle axis of symmetry, except for a part of the third lobe which is devided in two so as to create a space for housing the rear wheel and the relevant braking means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A frame according to the preceding claims, characterized in that at the end of the first lobe the mechanical steering groups are let in, at the end of the second lobe the mechanical saddle supports are let in and at the ends of the third lobe the crank axle and the support means of the rear wheel are let in.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A frame according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the third lobe is divided in two elements and carries at their ends little brackets for the support of the rear wheel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A frame according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the saddle locking means are contained in the second lobe.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
A frame according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the end part (5) of the second lobe (3) initially shows an indefinite length and is sectionable depending on the build of the athlete, in said aprt being let in a threaded bush (18) for the engagement with the locking means (6) of the saddle(21).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A frame according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the micrometric height regulation of the second lobe (3) is obtained by means of gauged shims (17).

Dependent Claim
21 words
A frame according to the preceding claims, characterized in that it shows a lowered steering barrel partially comprising the steering group.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
A frame according to the preceding claims, characterized in that it shows the crank axle bush with a spine apt to allow the minimum relative distance between wheel axis and pedal axis.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
20 words
A frame according to the preceding claims , characterized in that it has the rear brake inside the structure itself.
