| Item: #6528007618 Haha - I especially like the description: "It is being sold as a Pair." To top it off, they both are post-'77 examples...their text on the picture does a good job of obscuring the men's DL! -Kurt by: 205.188.117.138 |

| Am trying to find any information about my childhood bike. Hermes,Sport,manufactured by Mercury Industries in Birmingham England late 1950's. It is black and white with gold pinstriping and detail. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. by: 64.12.116.202 |
| Hi, Mercury Industries were in business just after WWII making bikes. They stopped pedal cycle production in the fifties, started fitting motors to them and then went on to make Motor Bikes. There is a Hermes motorbike made by them in about 1959 which is in a museum in Coventry UK. Hope this helps. Tim by: 213.249.149.4 |
| Mercury roadsters( Heavy balloon roadsters) were supplied to the U.S. Air bases in England in WW2 with the understanding they were to be distroyed or taken to America but not sold on the local market---very few left today of there military bicycles.---sam by: 69.150.212.189 |
| hi Sam, I have often wondered about about these. I have seen a few at farm sales around Lincolnshire, (where most of the airbases were). As to everything being destroyed after the war, I live near the site of an old American Army Base. According to local legend the Americans just dug a big hole and buried everything. As soon as the last troop ship was over the horizon the locals just dug it all up again, bales of blankets, uniforms, tins of rations, tools, munitions and all! I even heard tell of vehicles being recovered and motorbikes. I still find odds and ends on the site when I walk the dog up there, mostly cartridge cases and buttons and badges.

| If this link works? I ran across this Sram replacement brake unit for Sturmey Archer hubs--but no pics. Anyone seen this or know what it fits? http://greatadventuresports.com/site/page.cfm?PageID=125&SKU=HU2575 sam by: 69.150.212.189 |
| Item #6527704681, NMA, etc. All right gentlemen, gather 'round the table and place your bets! -Kurt by: 205.188.117.66 |
| This could be interesting... being the smaller frame and all. Certainly very pretty... no frame pump? Should command a good price... though moreso if it were the larger frame and if it were black or red. Nice though! And certainly looks new! Regards, Larry "Boneman" Bone by: 69.39.170.201 |
| Super English Roadster on ebay now: Triumph Bicycle HAVE FUN!! Item number: 6527942312 by: 70.245.187.96 |
| Ahhhh... check that out... Made in HOLLAND! And judging by the reflector under the seat... unless it was a later add-on, I daresay, late 70's or possibly even early 80's. Anyone else have a Holland Built Raleigh, etc.? I have a very nice red LTD-3 that was made in Holland in the late 70's.... and it seems to have stood the test of time a bit better than some of the British Built Raleighs of the same vintage. Of course, I have no way of knowing how all the bikes were stored and such... but the Red LTD-3 is in excellent shape. Nice looking Triumph... 23" frame and all! Later!

| I restored a 1970something Triumph with dutch components and unlike all the 1970s full Nottingham bikes I've worked on there was nothing wrong with it, nice rims, good front hub, no bent axles or spindles, properly installed fixed BB cup. I wish I could get a hold of some dutch front hubs. by: 71.34.82.8 |
