Many thanks.

Hello We have a bike here that I could do with some help identifying. It's hard to read but I think the badge says "THE HERCULES CYCLE & MOTOR Co. Ltd. NOTTINGHAM ENGLAND". It has hub gears, looks to be 1960 or 1970s sort of era, and there's a sticker on it that I think reads "TI-RALEIGH...

Re: Re: this information quickly lead me to what I think is the right pump much appreciated!

the bike originally came with a white plastic pump, it's the only bit that was missing, and I've been searching for any sort of replacement it has pegs brazed on underneath the top tube, the pegs are 44cm apart point to point, I can't find a pump long enough to fit this anywhere does anybody...

finished!

for my saddle, I removed the rear rivets myself to separate the frame and de-rusted it, I left the nosepiece in place, then I sent everything to brooks for new rivets and re-assembly worked out great, looks like they put a new nosepiece and bolt on it, but the frame is still original very...

my one matches the top one in style, I'm not saying mine is brass, but just that the proportions of my badge are the same as that, the bottom looks differenent like thinner letters etc

yeah like this http://www.classicrendezvous.com/images ... dbadge.jpg though mine has such little relief I couldn't just paint it and polish it to bring up the edges, I'd have to get it spot on with the brush I've seen decals out there that look like the badge, I wonder if one would go...

Re: Re: no fair, you've got higher edges on yours!

hope so, must admit I hope there would be some other way to brushing it, I don't have a steady enough hand! or maybe I'll just leave it as a reminder of how the frame used to be

no idea if it's brass or not

for anyone reading this having the same trouble as me http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190826294165 this is what you need

getting my frame all resprayed up nicely, putting this badge back on like it is would look out of place, does anyone here have experience of restoring badges?

Re: this is a comparison between a brake cable and the cable I need, as you can see it's much smaller

I did eventually find some NOS weinmann ones on ebay, in a full bolt set like you mentioned, so should be good thanks you'd think these things would be easier to find!
