This model of Gladiator is not easy to find. What makes this one unique among the few survivors is its original transfer (decal) on the steering head. Gilt (gold leaf) transfers are very delicate and easy to polish off by mistake, so not many surviving bicycles from the 1890s retain this remarkable feature. I have had the bicycle sprayed with clear lacquer to protect it.
