Thanks, but I would like to see all of the diamonds not just the ones in the build off.

And I had it fenderless and for awhile but the look never really appealed to me so i threw them back on.

Yours has the same chain ring as my Old Hercules.

Here's my Hercules 10 speed, my pride and joy today. I think it's a 1965-69 model.

I'm not entirely sure on the year of mine. I talked to my dad and he said the guy I got it from would have put "this and that" on the bike to make it look how he wanted, so I'm still pretty sure its a hercules, but the chainguard is wrong, and the rear S/A hub is a 1955, so who knows. It was a rat before I had it.

I love the chainring on your bike BTW :D
 
Mine is a 1950-1953? Indian Scout. I originally purchased it to restore and put on display at the local Indian Dealership. The deal fell thru so I fixed it up for myself and turned it into my daily rider. Not sure of the exact year but from what research I have done it appears to have been built by Phillips sometime before 1953.

It was kinda rough, the wheels and hubs were shot, bottom bracket was crunchy, forks wobbled, etc. This is what it looked like when I got it...

I tore it down and took it to bare metal, repainted maroon and cream with my very first attempt at pinstriping, I also hand lettered the Indian script with one shot. I rebuilt the bottom bracket with new bearings, same for the headset, straightened up the steer tube since it had a kink, installed a set of 700c rims off a Raleigh, relaced the rear to hold a Comet single speed coaster. The stem is original? Many thanks to Alan and gang at Tom Sawyer's bike shop in Wichita, ks. He fixed me up with al the parts I needed. Right now I have a Persons saddle on there, and Im on the lookout for a Brooks or similar to complete it.
