Frame

1386

Untraced

A complete bicycle, with “700c, no guards, except bars gears etc” across the head of the sheet — the customer was supplying his own bars and gears. Sid struck out HPs against wheel clearance, leaving sprints, but then wrote “700c pressures” directly above it; the two do not agree and the note is the later of the two. A telephone number is written across the top corner and is not recorded here.
