Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 January 1900 — Bicycles For This Year. [ARTICLE]

Bicycles For This Year.

Already bicycle dealers are cast ing about for this year’s supply and the bicycle trunk is again a familiar sight to baggagemen. It is said that there will be few changes in wheels for 1900.. The manufacturers will pay especial attention to making lighter machines, hut still retaining their strength and durability. The experimental stage of the chainless wheel has passed and it will be more popular than ever this year. Chainless wheels will be from three to five pounds lighter than last year. The price will range from S6O to $75. Many of this year’s wheels are fitted with caster breaks.
