Please help. I found these decals better than others, you get them in "waterslide" which is how the original decals on old bikes were applied. : http://www.hlloydcycles.com/

HeyYou Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Took old Hercules for a spin at Moonlight Mass last night. Slow and heavy with dodgy brakes doesn't make for easy crowd riding. It made up with attitude though. Is the back brake backpedal?? Looks a bit like a Philips I used to ride to school. Was Sturmy Archer 3 speed, but then turned into a fixie, girls were very impressed!!!!
tracknut Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 editLooks great - but sadly too small for me!
tracknut Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Does anyone have a chrome plating company that they can recommend in Johannesburg area?

Was Sturmy Archer 3 speed, but then turned into a fixie, girls were very impressed!!!! It's a Hercules, was made in England, it dates from late 1920 or early 1930 and it has been in the family since then. It was restored by Jared Mahoney from BMC. It is single speed, no backpedal brake, Check somewhere earlier in this thread for the details and pictures of the transformation. (See Page109) Edited November 20, 2013 by DJR
