Wait what, you found a complete René Herse at the tip?
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.
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!
