1950 Hercules Tourist

About

I do not recall where I found this one but it is a classic British ride. Hercules and Raleigh were rival bike companies. Raleigh bought out Hercules in 1960 – this is a pre-Raleigh bike although it seems to have a few Raleigh bits on it!

 

Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing this bike and taking it for a ride!
