Bicycle Frame: the Horizontal Dual System (HDS) by Argon 18

HDS - short for Horizontal Dual System - is the primary principle behind the optimal balance of ride characteristics in Argon 18 bicycles. The basic idea is simple: different bicycle frame tubes carry different loadings and stresses and one way to differentiate between the two primary types of loading is to divide the frame in upper and lower sections along a diagonal line spanning the bicycle frame from the upper headtube to the rear dropouts.
