The method comprises a shell forming step: turning thermoplastic composite laminates (10) into shells (20A, 20B) by compression molding, wherein each shell (20A, 20B) has a cavity (21A, 21B), at least one straight segment (22A, 22B) and at least one curved segment (23A, 23B) connected therewith; a shell assembling step: assembling the shells (20A, 20B) to make straight connecting edges (221A, 221B) of the straight segments (22A, 22B) overlapped with one another and to make curved connecting edges (231A, 231B) of the curved segments (23A, 23B) butt jointed with one another; and a hot pressing step: turning the straight connecting edges (221A, 221B) and the curved connecting edges (231A, 231B) into fusion areas by heating and compressing so as to connect the shells (20A, 20B) as a bicycle frame component (20).
