THE LIGHT WHEEL CRAZE.
Let your Bicycle Weigh Enough to
Carry You, Saws an ExDert

Let your Bicycle Weigh Enough to
Carry You, Says an Expert.
1t is significant point to note in con-
nection with the light weight craze that
no really high grade maker-at least,
none who has obtained recognition-cat-
aiogues machine weighing less than
twenty-one pounds, catalogue weight, at
what is known as the popular price, I'M
less specific statement is made that such
machine will not be guaranteed for
road use, and even those who do make a
roadster supposed to weigh under twenty
pounds, and listed at s25 higher than the
standard line, object in most instances to
stand behind them with broad guar
antee.
The good saint hath well said that
there is reason in all things" and, with
the exception of the average bicycle
crank. | think that the saying is a true
one. What earthly difference does a
couple OF pounds weight make in the
running qualities OF a road machine? Can
any one answer? | trow not, but any re-
pair man can tell the difference that a
couple Of pounds make in the wearing
qualities.
1t is no doubt very pleasant to be able to
pick your machine up on one finger and
call the attention OF admiring friends to
its lack OF ayoirdupois, but even an eigh-
teen pounds bicycle isquite load to ca ry
under your arm ION a red hot day in Au-
gust4, with a twisted frame and buckled
wheels, and the nearest railroad station
five miles away.
In the words OF the poet, don't be a
chump, buy bicycle that bears first
class makers name, fit it with standard
road tires, and let it weigh enough to car
ry you safely.-Nep York Recorder.
