Is there somewhere online that explain the difference between each frame type?

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere...

Your question is a bit odd.

I think your best bet is to use wiki followed by some google. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_frame

That should get you started.

Then in the event that your specific question isn't answered on here or else where on the Internet ask here.

He's probably asking what each frame model is aimed for, which I thought the Mercian website have already explained it.

If you phone them they are reasonably helpful.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
