Seat tube is 52.5cm c-c, top tube is 53.5cm c-c and wheelbase is 103cm.
This bike was made after Herse's death by Lily and Desbois, but the bike is identical in every way to one made late on in RH'S life.
Bikes from the late 70s and 80s had the Desbois touch, this one is still built in the René tradition.
Frame number #2382
Fully original, very nice condition. This is the way I got the bike and it has not been cleaned up at all. It will really shine once the polish has been put to it.
Rene Herse triple crankset
Rene Herse stem & bell with RH bolts.
