    Description

    René Herse Bicycle
    This is a very early Herse around 1940, according to Jan Heine in his book about herse, Rene herse did not make is own bicycles frame at this time. People were coming to his shop with a frame or a complete bike and Herse added his own technology (brakes, derailleur drop outs, racks, etc) and painted them with "RHERSE".
    That doesn't mean it's a low quality Rene Herse, just he didn't make frames at the begining of his career.
    The frame is brazed, very light and mounted with the high quality parts for the era.
