Nice Rene Herse on eBay
I was searching eBay for a cheap French bike to build up with my excess French parts when I found this:

He's local, so at least I could save a few bucks on shipping.
Who am I kidding? I can't even afford the VAR lock ring pliers he's selling.

This was listed once before, I believe, and went to $7600, and didn't make reserve. It would fit everything about me but my pocketbook...does anyone know what the appraised value of such a thing would be?

I'm sooooo glad it's a tiny little thing. Phew. I'm also happy that one in my size would likely sell for less. Not that I could afford it anyway.

Hey! there are three Herses on eBay right now. The randonneur, an upright utility/city machine, and a tandem! Like, it is almost raining expensive French bikes right now...

If you're interested in a Rene Herse you may want to pick up a spare French chain... the other end of the continuum!

geez. I've seen whole double-wides go for less. But its hard to ride a double-wide, and you don't get the envy of everyone at Classic Rendezvous (unless maybe its an Airstream...)
