I live for the CABE
1962 Hercules Twin Bar Runabout
This bike is a custom, built up from the original frame and crank, all else is non-original to the bike. A 20" frame with 700c tires, this bike will fit anyone from 5-2" to 5-11", the seat and handlebars can sit low or adjust to being quite tall.
I built this bike up from high quality and stylish parts over the last year to ride in the Lake Pepin 3 speed Tour. That event is finished now and this bike was ridden 80 miles with not one hiccup. It performed flawlessly and was complimented all weekend by everyone that saw it.
Here is the run-down of all the great parts that makeup this fine bicycle:
From the bike paths, to toolin' around the Park, to leading a parade, this bike has it all for the casual vintage bike rider. If you're not cool, this bike will do it for you...
There are only two very small flaws. A very small puncture hole in the rear of the front fender and a very slight scuff on the seat. Neither can be seen straight away without looking very closely for them. The rest of the bike is straight and perfect.
$450 including shipping is pretty good considering its quality and provenance of parts.
If things work out, I may be able to deliver it in the mid to North Eastern US. $350 in that case. Ask if you are interested
