  It is shown that the geometry of parallelizable manifolds can be extended to
non-parallelizable ones by extending the connection that a global frame field
would define on a parallelizable manifold to a connection that a singular frame
field would define on a non-parallelizable one. The resulting connection would
typically have non-vanishing curvature in the neighborhood of the singular
points of the frame field. The example of a 2-sphere is discussed as a
motivating example and later extended to more general suspensions of
parallelizable manifolds.
