The radial spokes are tightened at the hub by nipples. The wheels have solid tyres, solid bearings, and a lever-operated spoon brake to the front wheel; the pedals are of rubber. The front wheel is 55 in. diam., and the rear one 20 in. The pedal radius is adjustable from 6 in. to 3.5 in. The wheel base is 36 in. and the weight 49 lb.
