A Frenchman/woman is making the auction of a Rene Herse Randonneuse frame, the object of their first attempt to sell on Ebay.
The frame is a 53cms one with a 54 top-tube..the frame is all-chromium plated, and is offered with what looks like a Simplex seat pillar , one of those bizarre stems that Herse made, and a pair of bars. Condition is not too bad. Frame No is *1079* which will mean something to the Herse cognoscelti.
The seller lives in the Ile de France ie the area surrounding Paris and is willing to send the frame world-wide. To be exact, the frame is at Villepreux a small town to the west of Versailles...an enchanting area for riding a Herse...and quite near the starting town of the Paris-Brest-Paris
With a starting price of 1500 euros, no bids to date, just under four days for the auction to run...the frame is :
*ITEM No: 250601197044* ** *So if you want it, have a punt, as the Irish say..and Good Luck.* ** You know, I have just realised that it is my size...and I have never ridden a Herse Randonneuse, but I do have a Herse Course ( or possibly sportif)
