What wheel size is it ?
If 26 x 1-1/4" they are a pig to get hold of !
That's the same size as the Pashley Princess [ edit : no it's not ], so not as hard as you might think.

Having a brain fade moment here. Mrs B's Hercules (dating back to 1969 or thereabouts, at least according to the datestamp on the sturmey archer hub shell) is the same size as the Pashley Princess wheels, but I can't remember if it's 1 3/8 or 1 1/4. I expect you're right here.It would take a lot to leave it as new but very little to build that into a rider.
More likely to be 26 x 1 3/8" which are easily available.
i have the opposite problem; they'll take the cash but i've yet to see anything worth more than a coin with straight edges…Disappointingly, at our local tip, the employees are prevented from making a few quid by selling old bike frames etc. - no matter what financial incentive is offered to them. They are constantly monitored by CCTV, to ensure that this doesn't happen.
I won't be finding a Hetchins at our local tip.![]()
