Re: [RBW] A nice 59 cm Heron on a certain auction site

2013-03-27 Thread reynoldslugs
This one on the auction block is very similar to my 60.  I love the bike, 
currently in the process of building int back up.   The silver is a pretty 
and understated color.  For the interested, some shots of the Heron rebuild 
project:

The Heron is the bike that brought me back to cycling (via Rivendell) in 
about 1998.  I'll always have a sentimental place in the garage for mine.

What a badge!  Yeah, I am watching this auction, and hoping for a
financially reasonable outcome; the purchase isn't what I might call
necessary, as I am committed to a Sam build already with Riv!  But if
this Heron is a good deal . . . .

[RBW] A nice 59 cm Heron on a certain auction site

2013-03-26 Thread Tom Goodmann
I've been alerted to a clean-looking Heron (59 cm ST) on the auction site; 
I'll watch closely, and thought others might be interested.

Re: [RBW] A nice 59 cm Heron on a certain auction site

2013-03-26 Thread mikel66...@juno.com
i had a similiar first generation 57cm Heron Tourer. as a loaded tourer it 
handled well and was quite comfortable. i never used it with less than 4 
panniers, rear rack/bag and front handlebar bag so i cant comment on how it 
rode unloaded

it did have a couple shortcomings. first, a modern loaded tourer doenst need 
horizontal dropouts. second, the fork crown could fit a 700x38mm tire but wasnt 
wide enough to accomadate 50mm fenders while pinching SKS 45mm fenders

i sold the 57cm and bought a used second generation Heron tourer (Wayfarer i 
believe) which has vertical dropouts and a wider/stouter fork crown. it hangs 
on the wall unbuilt so i cant compare but it might be called into action this 
summer
