Hercules Pre-Raleigh - Tanwall or Blackwall?
As I'm starting to work on the old Hercules I bought recently, I am trying to figure out what tires would be most appropriate: tanwall or blackwall?
I have new a half dozen tanwalls sitting in my shop, but am not sure they'll look right. Most of the pictures I've seen of Pre-Raleigh Hercules seem to have blackwall tires.
Thoughts and input please!
