There are abundant indications that the aver
age bicycle model Of 1903 will DO o much moro
ornate affair than that OF 1897 or its fellows Of
previous years. Tho tendency toward q wide
adoption OF decorative effects in nickelling and
gilt stripping is marked. 1t was only q couple of
years ago that H. began to DO possible to obtain
cycles with frames ennmelied in any color other
than black, and then 1t was by paying extra.
Next year there will DO hardly q manufacturer
who will not offer on option, and adj
ditional charge, frames onaInelled in several
colors. Two years ago n wheel having fancy
gilt stripings on 1t was prejudgcd MS n cheap
product. in which Raudiness was substituted
for intrinsic work. Now, however, some of the
foremost, best.known. and most reliable makers
are adding the touches OF the artist to the craft
Of the artisan in their finished product.
Not only will frames be finished in various
oolored enamels, but all tho accessories of cycles
will BIO much moro elaborate and better calou.
lated to appeal to the esthetio sense. Saddles
will have fancy markings on the leather. handle
bars will be chased, grips will have engraved
silver tips, municipalities will be made OF sterling
silver, rims, bells, gear cases, and perhaps even
lamps, will be enamelled to match tho color of
the Frame. Tool bags will be of more expensive
and convenient construction. There will prob
ably BIO decorative marks of distinction in
every make OF wheel that will more than com.
