Great job Frank! Those pics. are worth a thousand words. I picked up an pre-war (?) Hercules Remown last Spring and I am quiet happy to see so many simularities between the two bikes; the relaxed head tube, brake calipers, oiler caps....You got be motivated to take it down and start working on it....A big thanks for the motivation and the wonderful story!

ps The bars are great, I've been trying to snag a set without getting a second mortgage
