I've been riding a Heron Touring for a year. It's a production built frame at the Waterford plant. Quality lugged steel. Great ride.

Frame w/ fork $1045

Complete bike $1750

Friend of mine who has ridden a Rivendell since 1996 said my Heron rides and feels a lot like his Rivendell.

Check it out, I'm very happy with mine. (Bought one for my wife too)
