An old friend of mine had a custom Rene Herse touring bike made in the late '70s, rode it across the country. He's less sentimental than I, and decided to get rid of it. He offered it to me if I would buy him a new Moulton APB, but I couldn't justify the expenditure at the time. The top tube was a bit long for me, or I'd be kicking myself harder...
