Details
You could be the proud owner of this vintage Hawthorne Hercules bicycle. Hand built in England circa 1970 this unique bike is very clean and appears to be all original. This bike features 26" chrome wheels, a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub, step through top tube for easy mounting and full steel fenders with matching decoration.
BIKE CONDITION
The bike is nearly as it would have been right off the showroom floor in the 70s. The blue paint job is still in decent shape with some minor wear, surface corrosion and scratches typical for a bike of this age. The chrome is lightly pitted on some of the parts but this could likely be removed with some effort. The bike is free of major bents, dents and cracks. The saddle has a rip in the rear section- see photograph.
The bike has been tuned by one of our shops mechanics so it will be ready to ride out of the box after any necessary reassembly and adjustment.
This bike is sold as-is. Please see photographs for details.
