Head tube

A bicycle head tube with a partially installed bicycle headset; the locknut has yet to be fitted onto the fork steerer tube.

The head tube is the part of a cycle's tubular frame within which the front fork steerer tube is mounted.[1] On a motorcycle, the "head tube" is normally called the steering head. On bicycles the manufacturer's brand located on the head tube is known as a head badge.
