While doing my daily ebay slog, I found the following frame:
It is described as a Herse Track/Pista frame but I'm not so sure thats what it really is. The bike strikes me as more a path racer in the British sense. It has track ends with a derailleur hanger, is drilled for brakes (both fork and brake bridge), and has what appears to be holes in the top tube for cable routing. As I don't want to get into (or dredge up) the whole Herse issue that we beat to death last month could someone enlighten me as to what this is? One further question, if I may, did Herse make true Piste bikes? I've seen randonneur and racing models but never a piste bike.
