Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1900-04-19

FRAMES are made with flush joints
and internal reinforcements. The braz-
ing is done in manner which insures
an even distribution OF the spelter to
all joints. Brazed joints in Crescent
bicycles never pull apart. ID tubing is
used in the rear frame of models 81 and
81, and in the upper rear stays OF
models Il and AZ.
FRONT FORKS are OF the arch crown
pattern with flush joints. After two
years. test we are satisfied that we
have the strongest and safest front
fork in the world.
FELT WASHERS, which keep out the
dust, are supplied in all bearings.
GUARDS-The chain guard for model
30 is made OF sheet aluminium, enam-
eled the same color as the frame, and
! lined with felt. Rear mud guards on
all ladies' models are finished in the
same color as the rims.
HUBS-The rear hub on models Al,
~, 81 and 80 is made with buttonhole
openings for spokes on the right hand
side, making it unnecessary to remove
the sprocket in order TO put in new
spokes should this be necessary.
PEDALS-W furnish rat.trap pedals
on mems and rubber pedals on ladies'
models, and will supply combination
pedals when ordered.
The pedal frame for pedals on models
81 -, Al and ~ is Of new design, light
and neat in appearance, but very strong
and serviceable, and injury to it does
not affect the bearings.
RIMS on all models except on Cres-
cents 81 and 81 have rosewood finish,
and those on models Al, AZ, 81 and 80
have nickel-plated spoke eyelets and
valve hole thimble. The rims on mod
els 81 and 50 are natural finish, and for
cemented tires only.
SPROCKETS-A desirable change has
been made in the design OF the we'll
known Crescent sheet steel stamped
sprockets," but the method OF attach
ing them TO the crank axle will not be
changed.
SHEET STEEL STAMPINGS-The his
tory OF Crescent bicycles amply demon
strates the fact that sheet steel stamp
ings for frame connections and sprock-
cts are superior in every way to any
other form Of construction.
Our stampings are cold-drawn from
special brands OF steel, the bottom
bracket alone on our chain models re-
quiring 60 separate operations to com
plete it.
Fork Crowns are made from three
separate stampings clamped together,
the whole requiring but one brazing.
We have never had broken fork
crown of this construction. Seat-post
cluster, head connections and rear fork
ends are all made of stampings, and we
are satisfied that this method OF con
struction cannot be surpassed.
HANDLE BARS-We will furnish both
adjustable and stationary handle bars.
The adjustable bars are No. 102, 20
|
SADDLES-We show cuts OF our en-
tire line Of saddles with the exception
Of the Garford No. 10, this being sup
piled only on models 3 and 6. These
saddles all have padded tops with SEN
sitive springs, and will meet all re-
quirements of riders. They are of a
russell color, matching the tool bags.
TIREs-We feel confident the tire
equipment which we have selected for
! 1900 will meet with the undivided sup
port OF every Crescent agent and rider.
but the best material is used, and while
very resilient, are nevertheless dur
able, and will give the best OF satisfac-
tion. The specifications for each model
give the regular and the optional
equipment. On all models except Ores
cents 81 and 81 the Crescent Dunlop
Detachable Tire will be supplied, I'M
less otherwise ordered.
The ease with which the Dunlop De-
tachable Tire can be handled and re-
paired makes IL favorite with riders,
as no tools are necessary to attach to
or remove these tires from the rim
