It's a German brand and they seem to be relatively common in Europe.
I found one here on German eBay. It would be a bit expensive though (EUR 439,00 + EUR 70 shipping + custom fees).




I also found another one here on a Polish auction site, much cheaper (EUR 165). My parents live in Poland so I could potentially go there and pick it up. Are there any quality differences (apart from obviously colour) between the two?



I'm not in hurry, so I could also wait until I find one of them here locally since they don't seem to be rare, but for now was curious to know if you think it's a good one!
the hercules does not appear to be high end, probably perfectly usable, but not special. Also if you parents are in poland and you had in interest in the Creme Bike, I am pretty sure the are made in Poland, don't know if there are any local deals, but may be worth checking
