Finally riding a big boys bike
I am very excited about the arrival of my next bike! I am still waiting for my cousin in Massachusetts to ship me the 1953 Hercules Windsor Bicycle that I purchesed almost 2 months ago on e-bay that was located in Road Island. The first thing I will be doing to that bike is add greese to the stem bearings, bottom bracket and both wheel axels. Then I will lace up a Hercules B type 3 Hub to the Dunlop rim, using Stainless Steel Spokes. Additionally, I will mount a set of premium tires, tubes and rim liners to both rims and mount them to the bike. Also, I will add my stock handlebars to the existing stem and add both caliper brakes, cables, hand controls and SA shifter. After which, I will add the chain, chain guard, fenders and an English kick stand. When all the above is completed, I will decide what else I can do to make the bike look and perform better.
My cousin will be keeping all the non stock parts, which consist of: the handlebars, hand grips, Komet rear coaster brake hub, spokes and both pedals. That should keep the contents of the box down to 37 pounds. My cousin is currently looking for a box small or large enough to fit everything I want into it. I forwarded to my cousin $100 and I am hopeful he can ship it for less!
