The Herse is a different story, because the name was bought by Jan Heine/Compass Bicycles and then either sold or licensed, not sure, to Mike Kone of Boulder Bicycles. Mike's a master builder and builds a truly beautiful frame in true constructeur fashion. Enough so that that's the bike Jan Heine rides.

So, Herse is now a domestically made bike, and will easily cost you a couple of cherished body parts to afford one.
