a little secret that most people don't know is that Rene Herse's son-in-law built bikes not only as nice as a Rene-built bike, but, by some measures, nicer! His lug-work, in particular, is more crisp, and, from the examples I've seen, tidier all around than on Rene-built frames. The sole drawback to the later bikes is the graphics are decals, instead of painted on, which I think was a change for the worse.

A younger Rene Herse, built around the time Rene retired to the time the shop close, is probably an incredible bargain..and if that bike on ebay was my size, I'd think about it very seriously...even though pink ain't exactly my favorite color...that said, I had a pink curved-tube jack taylor that I liked a great deal, but it was too big for moi, so it went on to a local friend, so I can see it once in awhile. so maybe pink isn't so bad..,g>
