Greetings Brothers and Sisters of CR,
Thanks again to Dale Brown for graciously and safely storing my Herse for years
VeloOrange has thankfully put the '52 RHerse on http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/onfirm . I can confirm the same bronze disks are packed in my '52 Herse's downtube. Great
detective work by Ray Homsky on his Herse.!! Same crepepaper with tiny button sized, superthin bronze 'cymbells" Seems to be a ballast to 'tune' the frame. The fork is also very heavy in the crown with the cork and bronze insert for the dyno. The pitch of the fork is very low compared to any other fork I have, vintage or carbon. Are RHerse forks 'tuned' too?
Any Herse experts out there know about this??
Also check out the wooden 650b's with the Prior mega flanges, sweeet!!
to be used on the Herse. Smmoooth too.
with Godspeed,
Steve Kistler in Oklahoma City, OK
