A few years ago it was impossible to buy a good quality bicycle for less than £24 or £25. Suddenly a revolur tion in prices took place, and highgrade machines could be bought for from £15 to £18. It was thought then that the limit in low prices for high-class machines had been reached, but evidently that impression was incorrect. Messrs Wintringham and Deugarde, the progressive firm of the Blenheim Garage, alongside Town Hall, have just landed a machine fitted with everything of the very latest, Eadie coatser hub 2 front rim brake, Brooks' saddle, nickel-plated rims with green centres, extra heavy plating throughout, frame enamelled with five coats of enamel, and lined in silver and gold—which makes a particularly handsome : machine. In fact, it is a bicycle that probably cannot be purchased elsewhere ; under £16, yet this firm are asking only £11 10s. either lady'fl or gent's. V *
