Claims (28)

1. A frame structure for a bicycle, comprising:

a head tube;

a support tube assembly comprising two top tubes, at least one down tube and two reinforced tubes, wherein one end of each of the top tubes, one end of the down tube and one end of each of the reinforced tubes are fixedly connected to the head tube respectively, an inner space being a triangular prism is formed between each of the top tubes and each of the reinforced tubes, and each of the reinforced tubes has a bended portion fixedly connected with the down tube; and

a seat tube fixedly connected with the other end of each of the to tubes, the other end of the down tube and the other end of each of the reinforced tubes.

2. The frame structure for the bicycle of claim 1 , wherein the top tubes and the reinforced tubes of the support tube assembly are symmetrically arranged respectively.

3. The frame structure for the bicycle of claim 1 , wherein each of the reinforced tubes comprises at least two combinative tubes fixedly connected to each other for forming the bended portion of the reinforced tube.

4. The frame structure for the bicycle of claim 1 , wherein the end of each of the reinforced tubes is connected with the lead tube via the corresponding top tube.

5. The frame structure for the bicycle of claim 1 , further comprising:

a transitive tube fixedly connected with the seat tube, and the other end of each of the two top tubes is fixedly connected with the seat tube via the transitive tube.

6. The frame structure for the bicycle of claim 1 , further comprising:

a transitive tube fixedly connected with the seat tube, and the other end of each of the two reinforced tubes is fixedly connected with the seat tube via the transitive tube.

7. The frame structure of the bicycle of claim 1 , wherein a number of the down tube is two which are symmetrically arranged.

8. The frame structure for the bicycle of claim 7 , further comprising:

an intermediary tube fixedly connected with the two middle portions of the down tubes.

9. A frame structure for a bicycle, comprising:

a head tube;

two top tubes, one end of each of the top tubes fixedly connected to the head tube respectively;

two down tubes, one end of each of the down tubes fixedly connected to the head tube respectively;
