Back issues lead me, mournfully, to sell my treasured Hercules cruiser: step-through frame, all original parts (except possibly the seat). It rides well when tuned up -- it was one of my main commuter bikes before I hurt my back -- but is very likely in need of a tune-up. The brake has always been a bit fussy, especially in the rain.

I'll be selling this bicycle during my yard sale this Saturday, July 30, at 2507 N. Monticello (west Logan Square), 9am - ?. I won't have time for showings in advance, but I'll give priority to anyone who might drop me a line in advance (christyprahl@hotmail.com) and be willing to show up at the start of the sale.

$150.
