Does anyone here know how the Rene Herse serial numbering system worked?
>From what I have been able to figure out the early ones had a two or three
digit
serial number. Then around 1950 it was switched to a two digit date followed
by
two or three digit number.
My bike, however, has a serial number that begins with 109, which doesn't
fit
in with this system.
Were these bikes made during the transition from one system to the other?
Or possibly sub-contracted?
I would rather not get into whether these bikes are worth the hype,
since that has been covered here before, but any information
I could get on my bike would be appreciated.
