The size was worked over twice, 19¼" and 20" both struck out for 19½", and the top tube is noted “(STRAIGHT LINE)”. The head angle reads 75½°, steep for a training frame, and the figure is given as written; it could be misread. On the brake line “eyes” is struck out and a word reading “stops” (or perhaps “steps”) written above. Delivery was promised at six weeks with no deposit recorded.
