I think it might be a Hercules, going by the shape of the head badge. If so it would date it to 50s-60s, which is when Hercules used that shape head badge.

I saw it once on a path racer type bike and thought it looked pretty good. It also serves to lower the saddle beyond the height of the top tube as it's a tall frame even for me. There's pics of it...

I am tall so I find I need the knee room. On my slack-angled 30s bike I have a gallows type seatpin turned backwards to get the saddle position right back.

Yes those details of the bike I noted too. Nothing too extraordinary, apart from the aformentioned brake levers and handlebars. The bidding was rather fierce for it, ending at £255 which is well...

That was my thought too, I think they'll be nice to recondition. The bearings are very smooth despite the neglect, feels like a quality pedal but I couldn't find a name on them. I'm intrigued!

It's complete but a work in progress. I started doing a few custom touches to it, like...

I got knocked off my Elswick Hopper at speed and I sanded my toggle chain clean in half as I slid on the road before I came to a halt. 2nd time I've destroyed one that way!
