An annual guide to the best British and Continental cycling equipment and clothing. Printed in larger, easier to read type, extended to more pages than previously. The convenient pocket size has been retained, reinforced by a stiffened cover, so that it may be carried at all times.
THE INDEX ON PAGE 64
quickly directs the reader to items recommended for 1961. Our enthusiastic Staff of Club Cyclists not only keep in close touch with all cycling “types” at Home but maintain the friendliest relations with many of the British Racing Cyclists who visit the Continent. In addition, the “Salons” at Milan and Paris are regularly attended. All worthwhile introductions are thus quickly noted and adopted either by direct importations or adaptation into British designs.
We regret that, owing to present conditions, prices are subject to alteration without notice. All prices include any purchase tax payable.

N.B.—CHAMOIS CARE. Wash gently as wool in cool soapy water (NO detergents). A second rinse in clean soapy water, allowed to dry in the leather, which should be stretched gently when still damp and manipulated when dry, to regain softness. Hot water or rapid drying will shrink leather.

CRODONI RACING SHOES
Italian racing shoes “Il Crodoni” are the latest Craftsman made
shoes to be imported into Britain. Styled in the inimitable Italian
fashion, the designs are hand made from the best materials by
specialist workpeople in that cradle of Italian fashion—Milan.
We offer two models to the discerning British rider:-
“VELOCE”
PURSUIT
SHOE
With its sweeping lines and slender waist, perforated upper and
pliable sole, supported at the instep by a light steel support, will
appeal to all riders who are seeking the lightest and coolest of shoes.
The high front laces to an inch of the toe and the ankle is neatly
trimmed in white. Designed as a purely racing shoe (not suitable
for Club “football” or Cyclo Cross) the light sole carries no heel.
Hand made in metric sizes 38 m. to 46 m. State English size
required and nearest ½ size (e.g. 8, 8½” equals 43 m.) … 59/6
“GIRO”
ROAD
SHOE
A road shoe with the latest ideas of comfort. Well spaced larger
perforations in the upper are combined in the Continental fashion
with eight holes in the sole. These holes serve a double purpose;
in hot weather they keep the feet ideally cool, whilst in rain, when
normal shoes become “water-logged” they enable excess water to
run out and avoid the discomfort of waterfilled shoes. The sturdy
sole of the “Giro” with its four-point steel support eliminates foot
fatigue over the longer distances. Sizes as “Veloce” … 71/9
[Folio 13.]
[A photograph of a perforated racing shoe labeled Veloce pursuit shoe, above a photograph of a second perforated shoe labeled Giro road shoe.]

WORTHY SHOES
ROUTIER
Built on a French last, the curved back ensures a close fit throughout the whole life of the shoe, never getting down-at-heel. Semi-stiffened toes retain shape and relieve toe-clip pressure. Made from specially selected soft box calf. Smartness is enhanced by the popular triangular eyelets and White leather trimming. 5-11½” (12 extra).
Black … 46/9
GRAN SPORT
A popular “soft-toe” shoe, in supple Black fully chromed box calf. The upper is reinforced at the ball of the foot by four rows of stitching which prevent spread and ensure a close fit. The soft stiffening at the back of the heel provides a good grip to the very comfortable upper and a strong sole carrying a “V” heel completes a smart modern all Black shoe. Sizes 3-11½” (12 extra).
39/11
RECORD shoes are outstanding value and have been widely copied. The genuine “Worthy” Record has Creamed Black leather trimmed with Dark Red Leather (not plastic which tends to split). Leather insole (not composition) so that satisfactory repairs may be made. A full light heel. Triangular eyelets. Be sure you buy the correct shoe—check the “Worthy” brand under the instep. Full range of ½ sizes. 2-11½” (12 extra) … 37/11
[Folio 14.]
[Three photographs of leather cycling shoes, one for each model: Routier with a lace bow, Gran Sport and Record.]
— Page 17 —
ROUGHSTUFF
Made from special “TOUGHIDE” leather with a plain toe and webbed tongue to keep out wet. A solid bend sole with narrow sewn welt produces a narrow shoe that will fit a pedal and toe-clip. Stiffened back. Finished in Dark Tan, Scotch grain. Approved by Roughstuff Fellowship. Ideal “working” shoe. Sizes 6-11½” (12 extra) … 57/9
RENOWN
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 ankle. Very small lace holes in the front strapping which runs down to the toe, and a small pedal patch, add neatness to a sturdy shoe. 5-11½” only … 32/6
REG HARRIS SHOES
SUMMER SPRINT (Illustrated). Light and supple, drilled for coolness. Rolled edge, sewn inside to prevent chafing. Stiffened at instep … 49/11

“LE PARIS” SWEATER AND SUIT
Sweater
Made from 100% pure wool of fine gauge, the shape-retaining, close ribbed, stitch ensures a smart fit. The flat inset collar allows a jacket to be worn and carries attractive bands matched at wrist and waist. A full length zip, longer than average length back and sleeves are ideal on the cycle. In smart modern shades. Lovat (French Grey/Green), Bottle Green, Saxe Blue, Black and Crimson. Sizes 36-38-40″ … 75/-
Larger sizes at extra cost (42″ etc. 80/3)
Training Legs
In either Black or Crimson with bands to match jerseys above. Knit as the sweater, the close, flattering appearance of the full suit is in the true Continental style. The soft wool is reinforced by circular stitched chamois seat for comfort and wear. Zips at the ankles allow easy removal without stretching. Ideal for training, “waiting about” or warming up.
Sizes: Medium and Large… … 67/6
[Folio 16.]
[A line drawing of a leather shoe plate with a slot and rivets, marked CLIFF PETERS, and a drawing of a figure wearing a zippered sweater and matching training legs with bands at wrist, waist and ankle.]
— Page 19 —
TRACK SUITS

CAMPAGNOLO CHAINSETS
DOUBLE. Without doubt the finest cotterless set ever produced. Thoroughly tested by professional riders and proved supreme in competition; almost every major title was taken by Campag. equipped riders during 1960.
The superbly finished alloy cranks are machined to the finest limits, ensuring that both rings run perfectly true. The rings, not pressed but machined from solid blanks, fit on square shoulders either side of the crank arms, clamped together by five screwed bushes, tightened by Allen key. A four-sided taper spline on the axle is locked by means of a large headed bolt, and providing all parts are fitted clean and “dry”, no further adjustment is necessary. A neat chrome plate covers the axle hole and a small plated disc covers the back of the pedal spindle thread, maintaining the “immaculate” Campagnolo tradition.
Double set complete with bracket fittings (less tools). Ring sizes 44-52 tooth (larger sizes extra, see below) … 231/-

REGINA MULTIPLE FREEWHEELS
The Italian block which is almost universally used both on the Continent and in this country. Suitable for all gears, it is designed with a flush back and narrow body, leaving ample spindle on Quick Release hubs. Generally agreed 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 are detachable 13-28 Tooth.
These freewheels are built on a body (illustrated above) which has three different Bores: A, B and C.
For 4 speeds Bore A carries No. 1 cog (14-16T), Bore B has the second cog (16-20T), Bore C two cogs (17-28T—no 27T). For 5 speeds the smallest cog with female thread, No. 5, is inserted inside a special cog, No. 4, which fits on Bore A.
N.B.—If 13T cog is required, a special body without a shoulder on Bore A is necessary. 13T cogs, No. 7, are supplied with 14T, 15T and 16T shouldered cogs, No. 6.
5 Speeds are therefore available, Top (14-16T), Second (15-18T), Middle (16-20T), Bottom cogs (17-28T—no 27T), or with 13T Top, 14T, 15T, 16T Second, Middle and Bottom as above … 21/6

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 for many years.
Dominating the Continental racing scene again during 1960, winning the Major Classics and Tours, the leading Pro. Trade Teams are pleased to fit Campagnolo gears.

CAMPAGNOLO GRAN SPORT FRONT CHANGER
The first changer to have a fully enclosed action, fitting neatly behind the seat tube, protected from accidental damage.

The movement is returned by a long coil spring fitted parallel to the rod. Positive stop adjustment allows accurate positioning, resulting in a clean change every time 50/-

TUBULARS
We are proud to announce a new range of these World-famous tubulars which are now produced in an up-to-date factory at Nice, under the direct supervision of Signor D’Alessandro. As Sole Importers we are pleased to offer tyres that are lighter either in weight or price! Quality has been maintained and these tubulars really are a sound investment—you cannot obtain better value!
SILK IMPERFORABILE 7¾ ozs.
This famous tyre is now offered to the British rider at a lighter weight than ever before. The top quality silk pocket carries a lighter tread and a lighter tube but retains the rubber and canvas “breaker” strips responsible for top “puncture-resistance.” We prophesy that many wins will be recorded on these tyres during the coming season. At 7¾ ozs., suitable for races at any distance.
SPECIFY SILK FOR SHEER SPEED … 69/11
IMPERFORABILE 9¼ ozs.
Long recognized as the finest “distance” tyre ever produced. Will give an incredible number of racing miles. A top grade pocket of Sea Island cotton carries a hard rubber tread above an elastic raw rubber strip which gives durability and amazing puncture resistance.
Only 65/11
GIRO D’ITALIA 9 ozs.

A FEW NOTES ON TUBULAR CARE
When folding ensure that the tread is on the outside of all bends. Keep tyres tightly stuck on rims—a tyre that “rolls” to one side will be cut through wall by edge of rim. Keep base tapes in good order—if rim spoke holes are allowed to chafe through, the main stitching will be damaged and blow-outs follow. Fill all cuts in tread with stopping compound—water penetrating these will rot tube pocket, causing twisting, uneven wear and blow-outs. Do not over-tighten connector on valve when inflating—this tends to loosen valve securing nuts and a slow leaking will follow. Tubular walls chafe easily—protect them when carried as spares, on wheels or folded under saddle. Do not leave wet tyres in a deflated condition
—pockets will deteriorate.
