I acquired this Hercules (made by Raleigh) earlier this winter. Everything seems to be original, perhaps even the tires. The hub says 66 on it, so it's a 1966 or 1967 model. I wanted a 3-speed to modernize, but this one is too close to original to mess with. I don't like the twist-grip shifter, but I'll leave it.

This was only $60 on craigslist. This gives me hope that not everyone on craigslist is a shyster.
