1904 Racycle model 71

I'm curious to see if anyone has a scan of any literature on this model. It shows up in the Berlin/Racycle flyer and notes that the racer frame is a 1 and 1/8 diameter tubing frame. What is everyone thoughts on this. The wheelbase would be the same as the Roadster models.

Do not have catalog information for Model 71 Racer but here is info from 1901 and 1903 Racycle Catalogs for reference. 1901 Racers have 1" frame tubing, all other models are 1-1/8" diameter tubing. All 1903 Racycles have 1" tubing except Model 84 Roadster which is 1-1/8".

Here is what I'm trying to decipher, this is a blurry scan of the Berlin/Racycle. It looks like it has bigger tubing.

So would there be a different frame for export?

Am I reading into this too much assuming a Canadian spec Racycle could have an 1-1/8 tubed frame? 20" only.
