Hercules and Rudge
Hi All, I've recently been given a couple of old bikes.
Ones a Hercules 'Safety Model' (#US 443) and the others a Rudge (of some sort) and have been told the latter is circa 1903 (#22 written over the top of 49232, which may have another in front but unclear...
The chain wheel on the Rudge looks not to be original... ...but what do I know
Any information about the age, origin and value of these bikes would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Also try The C.A.B..E. (Classic and Antique Bicycle Exchange. The site is geared more towards pre-WW2 and pre-WW1 bikes.

If you are truly wanting more information rather than a valuation,
I would post those bikes here:
For the love of English 3 speeds...
You will receive all the information that you can handle and then some.
