Show yourselves & your ride!

My lovely Hercules, still trying to date the lady. The hub indicates 1960, but the bike itself must be older.

[please ignore the incomplete Columbia in the background. :D]

PS. Any Santa Rosa riders wanna get together sometime? I'm also looking for some restoration advice as I'm super new to this, so if you've got any please share.

Hey Spencer, I used to live in SR and Graton! I lived just a mile or two away from Annadel, but never knew enough to go riding there, darn it!

I am happy to see it looks as if you found someone to help with the resto :) . And some friendly riders to boot!
