Happy Friday!

After noticing there are many styles of head badges for Hercules I thought that we could pin it down to a year range. Looks like it is much more complicated than that. I have read that the 3 speed hub is the best way to find an age. Unfortunately the hub is caked with stuff. It may be quite a...

I was given this old Hercules bike about 10 years ago. I was in a barn for who knows how long. I realize that it has little to no value. However, I hang onto it because it may make a cool project one day. I have looked and looked for info to narrow down a date or model. The badge says...

American made Fuso.

What to do?

20 mile ride. Super day in warm and sunny north Ga.

Fantastic bike! May I ask what brand?

Gt USA purchased new in 1989+~. 80 degrees in north Ga.

Nitto quality!

I actually have more bikes than I can comfortably store so mostly looking for parts. Anything high end or mid level from the 70s and 80s , Italy or Japan.

My very first nice bike was a 1982 DX 4000. I put many thousands of miles on that thing. Ended up trading it for another bike around 1988. Cool to see yours! Brings back lots of great memories.

From an old Flying Dutchman. Late 1970s.

Hand painted!

Something I panted years ago.
