I think we all want to know if this old beauty is as great as the reputation, and to become more educated by experiencing say, the design and build talent of a Masi, a Colnago, a Woodrup, et cetera!
I want to experience a Herse on an extended basis, but don't want to buy and ressurect one. I probably have enough goodies to get another Italian, US, or Britbike on the road, but French fits are not in my warehouse.
