I have an early 1950s Hercules Kestrel bike: 56cm 531 frame has been shot-blasted and powdercoated red and now has Hercules riser bars added and a 1950s 26x1 3/8 fixed/single wheelset. Once the chrome has been polished up it'll look pristine. Any interest here before it goes on eBay? If so, I'll forward photos.

Aye, could be - whereabouts is the bike based? (collection vs. posting) and what sort of price?

Not definitely looking (pretty sure we all, always, are) but it's about my size and sounds nice...

Cheers

Well, here's a photo. Haven't got round to lining the lugs as per the original Hercules style or putting mudguards on.

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:

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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