I was viewing your bike pictures on your site. I live by Lake Nokomis, and just ran across these pictures on my Mom's 59/60 Raleigh (I'm on the back), in 1961. I loved these bikes, but they got sold at a garage sale when I was in college.
1966 Hercules, made by Raleigh as I understand. I paid $60 for it, and have put a few hundred into getting the look right. I really enjoy the odd chainguard and the little baby rear fender. It also has a grip shift as apposed to the standard issue Sturmey-Archer thumb shift. Hope you enjoy.
Following in the footsteps of fixedgeargallery and oldtenspeedgallery, this site is devoted to photos of old hub-gear three-speeds. The bicycles pictured on this site are three-speeds that my friends, family, and I own, three-speeds that come through our shop for repair, three-speeds seen by me in the wild, and photos of three-speeds submitted by readers. Hub-gear four-speeds and five-speeds are OK, too, as long as they're old.
