| It is English. There may be a 2-digit date code on the rear hub. Post this picture under the English Roadster discussion area where the English bike experts are. by: 72.93.84.141 |
| Can't tell you too much but I believe Hercules did make their own 3 spd hubs for a while don't know if they were date stamped.Around 1960 Hercules was absorbed by Tubing Industries and built in the Raleigh plant.These would have Sturmey Archer 3 speeds.That would have to be pretty unusual for me to pay $150. by: 74.71.71.119 |
| good call again Spike. They did make their own hubs before the conglomeration. Sheldon Brown mentioned them in (if memory serves) a discussion of hybrid gearing, because the Herc hubs had a threaded driver which would allow attaching a freewheel. It may have been as early as 55 or 6 they started using S-A. by: 209.7.150.163 |
| i could use some help in finding out more about this bike i have bought. it is a Monark Silver King "Rocket". it looks similar to Silver King Rockets from the 1930's. the model number is - 0345 and the seriel number is - A1740682. i am more concerned about the age than value of this bike. i will probably ride it in parades. i would appreciate any information on this wonderful ride. i do have pics if anyone would like to see the bike if that is needed for more info too. thanks bill by: 208.69.16.58 |

| I am in need of a headlight assembly for a Huffy Galaxie boys 26 inch middleweight bike from the 1960s. I would love it if it were in great condition with the lens included, but will take what you have, if in useable condition. by: 129.93.101.181 |
