$25.00 Sounds better. There is one womans Hercules...mid 60s just like above...been in craigslist my area for over a year now at $65

I bought a mid 60s Vista...womans...almost same looking bike. $12 Sturmey Archer hub 3spd shifter....similar fenders... i don't know if these are all English made 3 spds. but we often just bundle a bunch of these similar looking bikes together under that descriptor....

Basically, you can't give them away.....but, I don't care. They are kindof fun to work on...just to bring them back into smooth ridable , shiny, decent condition...I love that part

I like it but I got one cause it has a rod brake set up.. It's just tiny I can't ride it with out a lean back post. Still it's a suffer for style ride.
That one has a rad guard for sure.

LOL, what a POS. That's probably the last surviving Beretta, I haven't seen one of those in about eight years.

Forget the exhaust...... PLEASE FOCUS ON THE COASTER BRAKE FOOT CONTROL AND RETURN SPRING... It's really great find...

Edit... Rat rod gold... Earliest sexchange and coaster madness... @Falstaff

There is a junky coolness about this bike. Kinda like a Japanese rod brake burrito

Yank out the rusty frame on the bottom and get out of the way!

 

[Wildcat]

3G frame and forks for 25 bucks! Dang! It probably won't be there when I get there.

What happens to the bars, they are twisted like pretzels

 

[Wildcat]

They look straight to me. Maybe it's the camera angle
