Note that Rebour usually measured from photos he snapped at the races. So the measurements are not 100% accurate. For example, the bike shown here

http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com/rebour.html

in reality probably did have 25-30 mm trail, not 45, unless it was totally different from other Herse randonneur bikes of the era. (One I measured had 73 degree head and 73 mm fork offset, so his primary measurements weren't too far off - 72.5 degrees and 67 mm). -- Jan Heine Editor Bicycle Quarterly 140 Lakeside Ave #C Seattle WA 98122 http://www.bikequarterly.com
