• Wait what, you found a complete René Herse at the tip? This is like the find of all finds, makes me happy!
    Not only are those bikes really beautiful and my way less special french randonneur rides great, they are also really expensive!

    I did! I didn’t know it was a René Herse when I picked it up, I just saw the early alloy components and thought it looked interesting enough to bring home. It’s going to be a bit of a slow burner but I’ll keep putting updates here.

    You could recognise quality without branding!

  • I once found a mit 30s Bianchi mens bike in the tip, but that was in the 90s.
    Would have thought everyone checks what they have in the days of eBay before throwing out, but I guess you (we) were lucky this time!

  • Incredible.

    Will you start a restoration thread? I'd be keen to follow.
