Mechanically perfect, they are fast, easy run- 

 ning, and the strongest bicycle yet produced. 

 Every point is a good point. The following 

 are a few to which we would particularly 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 th< 

 frame a strong and handsome appearance; 

 Lovell interchangeable chain, so constructed as 

 to prevent irregular stretch, friction and rattle ; 

 divided crank axle, which will permit the re- 

 moval of bearings for cleaning and not change 

 the adjustment. There are many other impor- 

 tant features which will prove invaluable to the 

 rider.
