I bought my Hercules Top Gear three years back. Am 23 and I still ride it. I go on 10km ride sometimes
("sometimes"). I love the Y frame for its suspension. Its got a 3x6=18 gear system. I wouldnt say the gear shift is very smooth but it works.
My bike stays idle for months or a year and then I fix it and start using for a few months and it goes back to its idle self, then back out again. But it works. And hasn’t rusted much yet. The bike looks great and it draws attention.
