LONDON IhTDniCit.
I am convinced that the British cycie
makers must reduce the weight of their
machines or suffer greatly By the COM
petition OF American makers The aver
age American roadster of the hest build
is from five TO seven pounds lighter than
the English one The tubes are thinner.
because made of harder steel: the handle
bar is sIighter Uhcre is not the least need
for the huge handle bars In common use,;
the chain II lighter: the rim Is always
of wood Ca metal rim is unknown In the
United States today. and the pedal cranKs
are very much lighter and neater. IL IS
often alleged that with lighter machine
an uncomfortable vibration Is felt. That
this Is nonsense I can testify from
personal experience. For a wheel
which have been riding good
deal lately weighs, with every
thing on 1t. exactly twenty-five pounds.
and there is certainly no extra vibration
in it. while the absence OF seven pounds OF
dead weight enables me to use higher
gear with the same ease and hill-ciimbing
power as before. and. of course. greater
speed and smoothness OF motion on the
level. Moreover the British maker must
simplify the adjustments OF his machine.
To adjust an ordinary English saddle, for
instance. takes several minutes, whereas
an American saddle can be taken of and
put on again In as many seconds
