It was a lot of work, as all the braze-ons had been removed and the brakes were missing. I wrote a short article about the restoration for Bicycle Quarterly spring 2017.

I too lust after that René Herse.
This might be my "prettiest" one. For this PX-10 I mixed some paints I had on hand for this light green to pay homage to the light blues and greens used by some of the French Constucteurs, since I may never actually own one of their beautiful bikes.
It's a little muddy in this first photo but I think you get the idea.
