PHOENIX
LIGHTWEIGHT LUG SETS
This new development of Bramptons has created considerable interest in the cycle trade as it is the first time that such a range of 18G lightweight lugs has been produced by a British manufacturer.
The illustrations show the large variety of patterns available and indicate the alternative feature cuts on the pipes of the lugs. Such a range will enable the cycle manufacturer who wishes to give individuality to his cycle to select one of the designs from the large number of attractive combinations which have been evolved.
All designs are available in the following range of angles :—
TOP LUGS : 68° to 74° (1¼” × 1″)
BOTTOM LUGS : 58° to 64° (1¼” × 1⅛”)
SEAT LUGS : 69° to 73° (1⅛” × 1″ × 3/16″ dia. spigots)
CROWNS are of pressed steel
BRAMWELD BOTTOM BRACKET SHELLS
Bramweld, the Brampton pressed steel bottom bracket, has necessitated the development of an entirely new manufacturing technique which has resulted in the lightest, strongest bracket of its type yet produced. It is lighter yet stronger than the more usual cast bracket and it saves finishing time because it is supplied in a much cleaner and smoother condition. The bracket is available in the following sizes :—
FOR ⅞” CHAIN STAYS : PBS040. | 67° × 62¾°, Straight Pattern
PBS044. | 69° × 62°, Straight Pattern
PBS128. | 10° “V” Pattern, 66° × 58°
PBS290. | 12° “V” Pattern, 62½° × 62¼°
PBS292. | 10° “V” Pattern, 63° × 63°
FCR ¾” CHAIN STAYS : PBS233. | 12° “V” Pattern, 63° × 63°
PBS291. | 12° “V” Pattern, 62½° × 62°
All to suit 1⅛” × 1⅛” tubing. The standard length of pipes is ¾” but this can be shortened to requirements.
All the components illustrated and listed above are those which are now available, but variations of the designs shown, or of the angles in the case of bottom bracket shells, can be supplied exclusively if sufficient quantities are ordered. It is anticipated, however, that the above range will cover most requirements.
