I recently got to ride a 1952 Rene Herse again - the bike that persuaded us of the merits of wide 650B tires... which then were popularized by Grant and Rivendell.
It was interesting to see how it felt now, when bikes like these no longer are exotic, but relatively commonplace. I wrote about it on our blog, with lots of photos: http://janheine.wordpress.com/2014/06/09/the-650b-ancestor-rene-herse-randonneur/ Enjoy!
