Rene Herse Bicycles Build Philosophy

Pricing and Ordering Guidelines – February 2008 (all prices subject to change without notice) There is no substitute for personal discussion, but the following should provide an overview of our pricing structure and policies. Currently our phone hours are a bit spotty, so if you don’t catch us please email your name and phone number and we can set up a time to discuss your dream bicycle. The policy of René Herse Bicycles is to sell complete bicycles as this insures that each machine we provide will be comprised of proprietary and production components that work together harmoniously. This policy is flexible; for example, some clients may already have a parts kit (perhaps someone wishing to build their bicycle with vintage components). While René Herse Bicycles Inc. sells complete bicycles, the following prices are meant to serve as a rough guide for our pricing structure. The prices for the remaining parts needed to make a complete bicycle will be modestly but not significantly higher than typical mail order prices to reflect the service we provide.
Randonneur Frame/Fork and Rack Fillet Brazed 700c $4,300 Randonneur Frame/Fork and Rack Fillet Brazed 650b $4,500
Randonneur Frame/Fork and Rack Lugged 700c $5,400 Randonneur Frame/Fork and Rack Lugged 650b $5,600 A frame featuring a full custom geometry and either oversize or traditional diameter tubing. Tubing is carefully selected to create a frame that works in harmony with the rider. Lugs and bottom bracket shell when used are handmade to insure a perfect match for the required angles and tubing diameters and are cut in one of the traditional René Herse designs. Dropouts are proprietary to Rene Herse and the seatstay connection is in the traditional René Herse style. A custom chromed front rack is provided with lighting interfaces according to the specified lighting system. A René Herse rear L.E.D. battery powered light mounted on the back of the seatube (or chainstay) is also included. Frames built for 650b feature a handmade forkcrown with round blades and special chainstay treatment for additional clearance. Paint is a high-quality single color with the legendary René Herse name handpainted on the downtube and headtube.
Race or Track Frame/Fork Lugged $ 4,600 Same tubing, custom geometry, paint, and lug/bb offerings as provided in the Randonneur Frame but without the front rack and fittings specific to a randonneur bicycle.
Other Features and Options René Herse Custom Stem (Quill Type) $ 650 René Herse Custom Stem (Ahead Type) $ 575 Rear “Platform” Style rack (sits on top of fender) $ 475
René Herse Decalur (Handlebar bag support – original Herse style) with bag mounting hardware $ 250 . (please inquire for prices on lighting and optional paint/chrome features)
Ordering Policies A deposit of $500 will secure your place in line for a new René Herse bicycle. At the time the deposit is made, you will be informed of the approximate total price. You will also be given a time window for expected delivery. Within 45 days of the actual commencement of your new bicycle’s construction, a non-refundable total of 50% of the bicycles total purchase price (including the already paid $500 deposit) will be required. In the unlikely case that the final cost of your new bicycle will be significantly different than the anticipated price at the time the deposit was made, the deposit will be fully refundable should the customer wish to cancel the order. Similarly, if the completed bicycle cannot be completed within the time window for expected delivery, the buyer may cancel the deposit as long as construction has not commenced.
