Claims:

I claim:

1. An exercise bicycle frame comprising: a rear support; a top support extending generally forwardly and upwardly from the rear support; a seat support extending generally upwardlyfrom between the rear support and the top support; a front fork connected with a forward end portion of the top support; a tube comprising a seat tube at least partially received within the seat support, wherein the tube includes: a first wall having afirst edge and second edge; a second wall having a third edge and fourth edge; a third wall connected between the first edge and the third edge; a fourth wall connected between the second edge and the fourth edge, wherein a first distance between thefirst edge and the second edge is greater than a second distance between the third edge and the fourth edge; and a post comprising a seat post supporting a seat wherein the post includes: a first post wall having a first post edge and second post edge; a second post wall having a third post edge and fourth post edge; a third post wall connected between the first post edge and the third post edge; a fourth post wall connected between the second post edge and the fourth post edge wherein a thirddistance between the first post edge and the second post edge is greater than a fourth distance between the third post edge and the fourth post edge; and wherein the seat post is partially received within the seat tube to provide selective verticalheight adjustment of the seat.

2. An exercise bicycle frame comprising: a rear support; a top support extending generally forwardly and upwardly from the rear support; a seat support extending generally upwardly from between the rear support and the top support; a frontfork connected with a forward end portion of the top support; a tube comprising a head tube connected with the front fork wherein the tube includes: a first wall having a first edge and second edge; a second wall having a third edge and fourth edge; athird wall connected between the first edge and the third edge; a fourth wall connected between the second edge and the fourth edge wherein a first distance between the first edge and the second edge is greater than a second distance between the thirdedge and the fourth edge; and a post comprising a handlebar stem supporting a handle bar assembly wherein the post includes: a first post wall having a first post edge and second post edge; a second post wall having a third post edge and fourth postedge; a third post wall connected between the first post edge and the third post edge; a fourth post wall connected between the second post edge and the fourth post edge wherein a third distance between the first post edge and the second post edge isgreater than a fourth distance between the third post edge and the fourth post edge; and wherein the handle bar stem is partially received within the head tube to provide for selective vertical height adjustment of the handle bar assembly.

3. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 1 wherein the first distance is greater than the third distance and wherein the second distance is greater than the fourth distance.

4. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 3 wherein the first wall is parallel with the second wall.

5. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 4 wherein the first post wall is parallel with the second post wall.

6. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 5 wherein an angle between the first wall and the third wall adjacent the first edge is substantially the same as an angle between the first wall and the fourth wall adjacent the second edge.

7. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 3 wherein the post fits within the first wall, the second wall, the third wall and the fourth wall of the tube.

8. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 7 wherein the tube includes a pop pin.

9. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 8 wherein the seat post defines a plurality of apertures.

10. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 9 wherein the pop pin is adapted to engage one of the plurality of apertures in the seat post.

11. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 10 wherein the pop pin is adapted to positively engage at least two of the post walls with at least two of the tube walls.

12. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 8, wherein the seat tube defines a first wedge configuration and the seat post defines a second wedge configuration adapted to cooperate with the first wedge configuration.

13. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 12, wherein the pop pin is adapted to wedge the seat post within the seat tube.

14. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 1, further comprising: a forward/backward lateral adjustment post supporting the seat; an adjustment tube operably connected with the seat support; and wherein the adjustment post is partially receivedwithin the adjustment tube to provide for selective forward/backward positioning of the seat.

15. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 2 wherein the first distance is greater than the third distance and wherein the second distance is greater than the fourth distance.

16. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 15 wherein the first wall is parallel with the second wall.

17. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 16 wherein the first post wall is parallel with the second post wall.

18. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 17 wherein an angle between the first wall and the third wall adjacent the first edge is substantially the same as an angle between the first wall and the fourth wall adjacent the second edge.

19. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 15 wherein the post fits within the first wall, the second wall, the third wall and the fourth wall of the tube.

20. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 19 wherein the tube includes a pop pin.

21. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 20 wherein the handlebar stem defines a plurality of apertures.

22. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 21 wherein the pop pin is adapted to engage one of the plurality of apertures in the handlebar stem.

23. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 22 wherein the pop pin is adapted to positively engage at least two of the post walls with at least two of the tube walls.

24. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 20, wherein the head tube defines a first wedge configuration and the handlebar stem defines a second wedge configuration adapted to cooperate with the first wedge configuration.

25. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 24, wherein the pop pin is adapted to wedge the handlebar stem within the head tube.

26. The exercise bicycle frame of claim 2, further comprising: a forward/backward adjustment post supporting a seat; an adjustment tube operably connected with the seat support; and wherein the adjustment post is partially received within theadjustment tube to provide for selective forward/backward positioning of the seat.
