We've had this discussion before but I can't think of a more comprehensive turnover of Rene Herse production from Lily Herse to Mike Kone and Jan Heine that did not involve growing Rene Herse's DNA in a petrie dish and creating a clone. And we'd have to borrow Mr Peabody's Way Back Machine so that all current production bikes could race in the Constructeur competitions.
By any definition current production Rene Herse is Rene Herse production just as current Ford automobiles are Fords.
