Abstract
A body frame of a small-sized vehicle such as a motorcycle or the like is assembled by interconnecting a plurality of frame elements. Among at least one pair of the frame elements, a connecting portion of one frame element is fitted into a connecting portion of the other frame element, and the respective connecting portions are firmly connected with each other by means of an adhesive agent. Moreover, the cross-section shapes of the both connecting portions are made non-circular, that is, not a simple circular shape, and thereby the interconnecting structure is very strong and rigid against a torsional force exerted thereupon.
