I could be wrong here, but although this is obviously a cherished, highly original bike, it isn't of the style that Herse and Singer enthusiasts usually covet-especially at $6000. There are no brazed on fittings-not even a chainstay stop- which seems more in line with 60's Cinelli philosophy. Also , the only Herse made component seems to be the stem. I guess this is what Herse made when one wanted a road racer rather than a randonneur/randonneuse bike. Don't misunderstand- this is certainly a really cool, elegant machine. But can it be expected to pull the same $$$ as a full out, all braze on, racks and all Herse?
