Can you please elaborate on this? What tooling has been brought over from France, and what parts are they making? I haven't heard anything about this.

With respect to the stems . . . OK, they are worth reviving, although arguably lots of outfits with a CNC machine could make them. I didn't realize RH made headlights, just thought they used JOS, or similar.

Anyway, I'm a good mood because I'm picking up my new 650b tandem, built specifically for the next PBP, painted something approaching Herse blue, from its constructeur this afternoon. Oh happy day!
