kittyp Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 I found a Hercules and Philips bicycle in my grandfathers garage. Everything from the fenders to the original tyres are in tact. The original grips are on the handle bars as well as the original seat, both pedals are also original..... My question is where do I go and who can I talk to about this old bicycle.

Looks like an Indian company and Philips model still in production as well.Perhaps go through their contacts link and see if they point you in the right direction from a SA perspective.
Beattbox Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Give DJR, here in the Hub a ping. He had a Hercules (if i remember correctly) beautifully restored. He made a thread detailing the restoration but can't seem to find it.

kittyp Posted July 9, 2017 Author Posted July 9, 2017 Sorry... bit of a technical challenge as my pics are bigger than 2MB. Will load from my laptop tomorrow.
DJR Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Hi KittyP This is the link to check. Perhaps also ask in the Retro Bike thread, there are some really knowledgeable people on there, who are always willing to share. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/46935-retro-bicycle-thread/page-109?&&do=findComment&comment=1938565
