Nice Hercules touring/ randonnee frame up for grabs, 1960s or possibly earlier. Lovely lugs, oil ports to headset and bb. Good condition but would benefit from a respray. 56 top tube, 54.5 to top seat tube, 120 rear spacing, 110 front fork. Built for 27" wheels, takes 700c with a deep drop caliper brake, or use the canti braze ons as god intended. No tube stickers on it but frame, fork, headset and bb included it weighs 3kg, so not gas pipe. Good condition modern Shimano bb included, and usable headset which just needs setting up properly - both included in sale.

£75 or near offer. £5 from sale to forum. Questions welcome.

Buuuump. I was going to build this up into a fixed tourer but now I need money more than another bike. Beautiful touring frame, fully described above. Perfectly spaced for track hubs, or 5/6 speed rear wheel.

£50 collected from Brockley, London Bridge or Shoreditch.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
