THIS NEVER HAPPENS 

 ON A LOVELL "DIAMOND" 



Mechanically perfect, they are fast, easy running, and the strongest bicycle yet pro- 

 duced. Every point is a good point. The following are a few to which we would par- 

 ticularly call your attention : The Lovell triple arch fork crown is a strong and attractive 

 feature ; the Lovell flush taper joints are made light and give the frame a strong and 

 handsome appearance; Lovell interchangeable chain, so constructed as to prevent irregu- 

 lar stretch, friction and rattle; divided crank axle, which will permit the removal of 

 bearings for cleaning and not change the adjustment. There are many other important 

 features which will prove invaluable to the rider.
