A velocipede frame 10 with a rear suspension system comprising a rear sub-frame and a shock absorber 32. The sub-frame is pivotably coupled to the frame body 16 at an upper pivot point 28 and at a lower pivot point 30. The shock absorber 32 has an upper end connected to an upper connection point 34 on the sub-frame, the upper connection point 34 being located adjacent the upper pivot point 28, and a lower end connected to a lower connection point 36 on the sub-frame, the lower connection point 36 being located adjacent the lower pivot point 30. In an at rest position, the shock compression axis may align with a notional straight line extending through the lower pivot point 30 and lower connection point 36. The frame may include a seat tube 22 that is bifurcated to create a gap between transversely spaced apart seat tube portions (22, figure 3), a portion of the sub-frame being located in the gap and pivotably coupled to the seat tube portions at the lower pivot point 30.
