HERCULES CYCLEMASTER ,CYCLEMOTOR,VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS 32CC CYCLEMASTER IN A HERCULES FRAME IT WAS IN A VERY SORRY WAY. I HAVE COMPLETELY REFURBISHED THE CYCLE ITSELF AND REBUILT THE ENGINE UNIT. I WILL LIST WHAT I HAVE DONE.

THE BICYCLE ITSELF:

I HAD THE FRAME SHOTBLASTED AND SPRAYED BY A PROFESSIONAL SPRAYER WHO ALSO SPRAYED THE ORIGINAL MUDGUARDS. THE FRONT WHEEL IS A STURMEY ARCHER HUB BRAKE WHICH IS IN 'AS NEW' CONDITION WHICH DRIVES THE LUCAS MILEOMETER.  THE SEAT IS A VERY RARE AND EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE SPRUNG LEATHER MADE BY HERCULES. THE REAR REFLECTOR IS ALSO A RARE ITEM BEING OF SQUARE DESIGN ALSO MADE BY HERCULES THE CHAINWHEEL HAS BEEN RECHROMED AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, IT READS HERCULES. THE LIGHTING SYSTEM WHICH IS POWERED FROM THE LIGHTING COIL AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL IS A  LUCAS KING OF THE ROAD AND THE REAR IS A LUCAS VT31. I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A SET  OF DECALS  FOR THE FRAME  BUT HAVE LEFT IT FOR THE NEW OWNER TO DECIDE WETHER TO PUT THEM ON OR NOT.

THE WHEEL UNIT ITSELF WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT  WITH THE FITMENT OF NEW MAIN BEARINGS, CLUTCHPLATE, CRANKCASE SEALS, FULL GASKET SET, IGNITION LEAD AND SPARKPLUG. THE EXHAUST HAS BEEN CLEANED AND AND REBLACKED AS I NOTICED THAT IT LOOKED A FUNNY COLOUR AFTER VIEWING THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THE RIM WAS RECHROMED AND FITTED WITH A NEW TYRE. THE CONTROL CABLES ARE BOTH NEW OLD STOCK GREY ROMEC AS ORIGINALLY FITTED.  BOTH OF WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO A RECHROMED  ORIGINAL CLUTCH LEVER AND BEC THROTTLE CONTROL. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS I HAVE AT THE MOMENT FITTED AN OLD PETROL TANK AND MAG COVER. THIS IS BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO DAMAGE THE ORIGINALS WHICH AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN RESPRAYED AND HAD THE RED COACHLINES ADDED.

I RODE THIS CYCLEMASTER A LOT LAST YEAR AND COVERED MANY A MILE AND IT NEVER MISSED A BEAT. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WOULD NOT LOOK OUT OF PLACE HANGING ON A WALL OR IN A MUSUEM. THE MOT AND TAX  HAVE JUST EXPIRED IN MAY  AND IT IS ON A SORN. THE REGISTRATION NUMBER IS NON TRANSFERABLE. THE V5C IS IN MY NAME.
