100 per cent. satisfactory cycling
trouser. The Pantalons are cut on

WORTHY SHOES
ROUTIER French Shoes are different. No
shoe made on a British last can give the
perfect fit and style of
its French counterpart.
One glance at the
curved back and small
stiffened toe of the
“Routier” shows the
discerning cyclist the
comfort that is built
into these shoes. Made
from specially selected soft box calf. Attractive design, sewn white
with white trimmings and Continental Triangular eyelets, good sole
and light heel. Sizes 5—11½ (12 extra) … 42/6

popular “soft toe” which adapts itself to the
shape of the foot. The
fully chromed soft black
box upper is reinforced at
the ball of the foot with
four rows of stitching converging
into the front strapping
preventing ‘spreading’
and ensuring a close fit
during the entire lifetime
of the shoe. The soft
stiffening at the back of the heel provides a good grip. Good sole
carried right through to heel which is of “V” formation. Modern
All-black finish. Sizes 3—11½ (12 extra) … 37/-

widely copied. Compare these points
in a genuine “RECORD”. Black

insole (not composition)
which enables a satisfactory
repair to be
made when necessary.

Record shoe by the “Worthy” brand under the instep. Sizes 2—11½
(12 extra) … 34/11
RENOWN. Latest of the ‘Worthy” range. A hard-wearing, all
purpose shoe at a popular price. Of first-class appearance, the soft
creamed Black upper is set off with Grey leather trimming at the

to the toe, and a small pedal patch, add neatness to a sturdy shoe.
Sizes 5—11½ only … 31/3

WORTHY SWEATERS AND JERSEYS
ROUBAIX. Made from a special close-
knit all-wool material, which can only be
obtained abroad. Light in weight it is
close enough to keep out any wind. A
flat “cheval” collar finished in heavy woollen
rib to match the vertical bands from
shoulder to waist, give a most distinctive
appearance, looking equally attractive for
cycling or for evening wear with a pair
of slacks. This sweater will retain its
shape and smartness for longer than most.

Lovat. Sizes medium and large … 55/3

trimmed with neat contrasting

TRACK SUITS
These practical garments have proved
so popular among cyclists for riding
down to road events as well as for
training and ‘between events’ wear,
that we have designed a special
‘cyclist’s cut’. The legs, shaped to
fit closely, have long zips at the ankles
to keep clear of the chain and two
side pockets. The top fits closer than
Athletic suits to cut wind resistance.
Two styles.

silky-finish material with fleecy lining.
Top has full open-end zip and pocket
set at an angle with zip. Trousers 10″

MULTIPLE FREEWHEELS
REGINA GRAN SPORT
The Italian block which is used almost universally on the Continent and in this Country. Suitable for use with all gears, it is designed with flush back and narrow body, leaving ample spindle on Quick Release hubs. Claimed to be the smoothest running freewheel, the races, set as far apart as possible, are ground and lapped to take the full amount of 1/8″ balls (no spacers). Compare Regina to any other and note the superior finish and smoothness of operation. All cogs detachable 13–28T. The 13 tooth top sprocket requires a different body and second cog to the standard freewheel. Available 13/15 or 13/16, all other cogs are interchangeable.

GEARS
(All Derailleur Spares Stocked)
CAMPAGNOLO GRAN SPORT
The “KING OF GEARS”. Equalled by none; envied by all. Its patented action ensures a rapid and positive change under any conditions. The cantilever arm movement, machined from bronze, obviates the use of a rigid arm which is always liable to accidental damage. The roller bearing cage is fully supported in all positions, being locked to the body instead of “floating” on the end of a shaft. Moving parts liable to wear are reduced to four pins which are fitted with phosphor-bronze bushes, whilst the two pulley wheels are of exceedingly hard-wearing high tensile steel. The precision workmanship, the materials used and the excellent finish combine to produce a gear which will give first class service.
Proved supreme during 1958. Used by every major “Tour” winner and the World Professional Road Champion.

PEDALS

CAMPAGNOLO. A product of the Italian engineering firm which specialises in producing only the finest cycle components. Technicians have carefully designed these pedals in close co-operation with the racing men who have tested the many prototypes. The result . . . A pedal of outstanding class . . . first brought to public notice when used by leading riders in the 1956 Tour de France and since used by them in all Classic Continental Races.
The highly polished alloy barrel of forged single unit construction. houses races which, following modern engineering practice, utilise a special hard chrome finish for exceptional bearing life. The spindle is of Nickel Chrome, ground and polished between centres, the bearing radius and cone being finished in the same hard chrome as the barrel races. A friction-free oilseal concealed between the barrel and spindle combines with the perfectly fitted dust-cap to effectively prevent any dust penetrating. The frame of best quality steel, exceptionally heavily chromed, further demonstrates the careful planning behind all Campagnolo products. Two special clips retain the toe-strap in the correct position for use and assisted by a small projection on the back plate, enable the clip to be “picked up” smoothly. Special provision is made for the correct positioning of the toe clip by two neat chrome-plated studs set in the front plate. These obviate the necessity of ugly plates and nuts inside the pedal frame … 59/6 per pair
TRACK MODEL fitted with short toothed side plates 59/6 per pair

ALLEZ! Made from high grade duralumin alloy. Special toughened pedal plates for long life. The barrel and end-plates are in one piece, so cannot shake loose. Spindle and Cones from high grade steel with spindle drilled for lightness. Quill pattern gives wide tread accommodating most sizes in shoes with comfort. 5/32″ balls throughout. Weight only 10½ ozs. a pair … 24/- pair

RIMS—SPRINT

FIAMME. The rim fitted with the “Longhi” patent design (as shown) will lace up into a really tight wheel. The spoke pull is equally carried by both faces of the rim, giving a rigidity which will hold the wheel true when under the stresses of racing.

BETTER but
CHEAPER
for 1959

TUBULARS

For 1959, the 21st year of their importation into Gt. Britain, D’ALESSANDRO TUBULARS have made substantial reductions in prices. These are the result of the re-planning of their production, consequent upon their removal to a new, specially designed factory in Milan. D’Alessandro’s have always been popular amongst Continental “Aces” and World Champion, Ercole BALDINI, following the example of his predecessor, Rik van Steenbergen, will be using them exclusively during 1959.

IMPERFORABILE. Recognised everywhere as being “THE JOB”. This fine tyre although light will give an incredible number of racing miles and proves to be an economical purchase for the serious racing man who competes at all distances. 9¾ ozs. Elastic raw rubber strip between a very hard rubber tread and the light “Sea Island” cotton pocket, is the secret of its durability and of its amazing resistance to punctures. Usually with file pattern but can be supplied with matt tread … 69/11
Or with SILK Fabric … 87/6

LIGHT ROAD. A new, fast Road Tyre with distinctive orange coloured multi-ribbed tread (illustrated) which can be used with confidence on either wet or dry surfaces. Although only 8½ oz. in weight its toughness was early demonstrated during International Competition last year. Recommended for fast “50s”. 62/6

GIRO D’ITALIA. A fine road tyre for hard wear. Not quite so “pricey” as the Imperforabile it will never-the-less give many miles of speedy racing. Narrow black file pattern tread with latex sides. Weight 10½ ozs. … 57/6

PRIMO. A hand-made tyre with a light fabric carrying the narrow hard-wearing matt tread. Fitted with an extremely light “dimpled” inner tube and cotton base tape, this tyre weighing only 8 ozs. is eminently suitable for pursuits and fast short distance road events … 57/6
Or with SILK Fabric … 75/-
[Folio 34.]

IMPERIAL. A reliable road tyre for all-round work. Narrow black tread with non-slip design. Latex sides. Weight 13 ozs. … 43/6
LEONE. Still the tyre most in demand in the D’Alessandro range, this is a strong and reliable tubular. Definitely the most popular tyre for bunched racing. Narrow file pattern tread with translucent sides. Rubber base tape. Weight 13¼[?] ozs. … 38/6
WORTHY. (As illustrated.) Made specially by Signor D’Alessandro to our specification to fill a gap in the British Market. Large section with prominent file pattern tread extending well down the sides. Walls are well protected with latex dressing. This tyre is ideal for everyday riding and training and the deep non-slip tread eminently suitable for grass track work. Record-breaking tandem riders have proved that this tyre will corner at any speed. Weight 17¼[?] ozs. … 38/6
