Are Road and Mountain bike frames the same?

Question

Answer 1

No road bike frames tend to be a little larger, have different geometry. Mountain bikes are built to take more abuse consequently weigh a bit more. Some people do ride mountain bikes a lot on the road . They are decent for traveling with packs, bags, equipment.

Answer 2

nope, road bikes use a larger wheel (27"), mtb will use 26", different geometry mtb is more relaxed, and normally heavier since it is made for much more abuse and rough terrain
