Abstract: A connecting element, particularly for connecting rear forks, also known as monostays, made of carbon to bicycle frames. The connecting element is constituted by a first insert and a second insert which are mutually detachably associable at a first end by way of mechanical connection element. The first and second inserts are respectively associated, at a second end, advantageously by way of adhesives, with the stem of a carbon monostay, and are associable with, or rigidly coupled to, a tubular extension of the frame.
