Just wondered if anyone might know anything about this old hercules bike.
Its badge says hercules birmingham england it is a ladies single speed and is old but I dont know how old it was my mothers and i know it is at least 40 years old but i think it could be a lot older.
It has the following stamped on the frame 12918yn and in very faint small letters JD cross and sons made in england is stamped on the hub? sorry dont know much about bikes!
I has had some work done over the years and a new saddle was fitted but I think it is mainly original although I think it has also had new wheels at some time in the past.
Would really like to know a bit more about it if anyone can help. thanks
