THE MYSTIC CYCLE. Highest Grade Bicycle. \ \ \ If \m\ \ f / / \ \ \ \ / / M I / X R ! / M V /./ / / wjL • Descriptive In presenting our ’95 model to the public, we wish to impress the fact that the Mystic is not one of the many diamond frame bicycles with which the market is now flooded, and which cau be bought at almost any price. On the contrary, the Mystic is one of the finest lined, most symmetrical and highly finished machines at the disposal of intending purchasers. THE FRAME, in general appearance, is very pleasing and perfectly constructed on the latest and approved models. LARGE TURING , of light gauge, is used throughout, and every joint reinforced. EVERY PART is made of the finest steel. OUR MECHANICS are the best in the world. OUR MACHINERY is perfect. OUR STOCKHOLDERS are men of integrity. THE HEAD is inches in length, of large diameter, light and rigid. WHEEL BASE, 44 inches. Depth of frame, 23 inches (unless otherwise ordered), which is the standard depth for the average rider. This brings the top tubes and rear fork tubes on a level and parallel with each other, which is a pattern of neat appearance. r THE TUBING is of the very best cold drawn seamless steel stock, produced from the finest quality Open Hearth Crucible Swedish Ingot. ALL SOLID PARTS are of the best quality steel, accurately machined and fitted. THE BEARINGS ate the best procurable. Bearing cases and cones are of highest grade steel, perfectly hardened and accurately fitted. THE BALLS are of the best, made by the latest Rolled Forged Method, and are the most perfect produced. THE SPOKES are the best Swaged Piano Wire Steel, capable of .sustaing an enormous high tension. 7 HE SPROCKETS are of the highest grade Drop Forgings, accurately machine-milled to fit chain. Front sprocket is light, yet very strong and rigid. BEAR SPROCKET is detachable. FINISH consists of three coats of best jet black enamel, baked on at a high temperature, all brush work (not dipped). Each coat, except last, is carefully rubbed down with felt and pumice stone, which imparts to the last coat that handsome iridescent finish so greatly admired. ALL BRIGHT PARTS are highly polished and given a heavy copper-plate, then repolished and nickle-plated. This prevents rustings and gives an elegant ’’solid” finish. WOOD RIMS. Our cycles are furnished with wood rims, unless otherwise ordered. These rims are proved and guaranteed. Ste’el rims, either nickel-plated or enameled. TIRES. Morgan & Wright.Vici, Webb or Dunlop. Other makes if purchaser so orders. HANDLE BAR cart be furnished in either drop or raised pattern and in two widths, 16 and 18 inches. FORK. Our Improved Fork is a design of our own, and is light with great strength. This is considered so great an improvement that we give a special drawing showing its construction. CHAIN. This is the great improvement of 1895, and -we devote two pages to its description. Unti 1 you see this chain you cannot appreciate its merits. Our Improved Fork. THE CONSTRUCTION of our Fork is very light, yet exceptionally strong and rigid, being built in such a manner as to distribute all strain equally on the different parts. FORK SIDES are all reinforced. The Morse Chain IS THE GREAT IMPROVEMENT OF 1895. THIS CONNECTION IS TO A CHAIN WHAT THE PNEUMATIC TIRE IS TO THE WHEEL. Just stop and think: No Oiling, No Binding, No Stretching, No Friction, and of course much less power to propel. Actual tests of 1894 show that in running 2,000 and 3,00 t) miles these chains did stretch only one-twentieth of an inch, and when put on factory machinery and run 5,000 miles the elongation was only one-eighth of an inch. Do you think this is a pretty large story? Well, examine the cut and see how it works. It does not revolve around a pin, but works from the center and rocks in the pin, thus overedmitig that great obstacle found,in other chains. Use this chain once and you would not go back to the pin friction for half the cost of a wheel. You get a Mystic and you get this chain. Before you buy a wheel see the Morse Chain. We do not say of this chain thai it'is just as good, but that it is better than any other chain made, and is worth #15.00 more to any wheel. Join the Club and get an SBS for $65.
