Read Patrick’s for sale posting on the RBW group.
See the good pictures – details and overview. lugggzzzz…
My friend Patrick is selling sold* his 1958 Rene Herse bicycle. Classic (legendary) French constructeur bike in a daily-rider incarnation. All set for a randonneur around 6 feet tall who likes blue. If I had the money, I’d buy it and just stoop a little. The top tube is only one cm shorter than my Ross…
The salient points:
- 61cm c-c Seat Tube, 57cm c-c Top Tube
- Old Phil/Mavic wheels
- Fresh blue powdercoat
- Lefol hammered aluminum fenders
- Classic canvas and leather luggage set included
- Racks and TA bottle cages included (they’re also blue)
- Sanyo BB dynamo, IQ fly headlight, Soubitez taillight
- Simplex retrofriction downtube levers, simplex derailleurs
- 14-28 Shimano 5 speed freewheel (looks new, clicks a little)
- Extra bulbs, 2 extra bottom bracket assemblies,
- No pedals unless you want rat traps with clips and straps
- You pay packing and shipping from Albuquerque, NM

*to someone who saw the it here, I think.
So, is it sold?
It is now! \:^)
If somehow it got unsold (more money) I’d be really interested!!
Do you know of any others that might be out there looking for a new home!
I will let you know if I hear anything. I WISH I knew where all the Herses are! Actually, that would just make me sad, since I’m poor. :^)
