 Hello RBWOB, I offer for sale my well loved Heron Road Touring in size 
 57cm. This is a wonderful riding bike that I’ve actually bought twice. I 
 regretted selling it the first time and luckily bought it back. It’s 
 currently not getting the use it deserves and if I’m being honest with 
 myself it’s not perfectly sized for me so I’m letting it go. The feel of 
 this bike is livelier than my double TT Sam, but not as quick as a 
 Romulus. 
 I will say that I used to live on a ridge in the Seattle area with a short 
 18% grade that I commuted up daily. This bike I always felt would climb in 
 a higher gear than any other bike I commuted on. If memory serves right 
 the 
 tubing is Reynolds 531. Herons were  designed by Grant Peterson and built 
 in Wisconsin by Waterford. Bike is located in northwest Indiana an hour 
 outside of Chicago. Asking $1200. I’ll cover packing by my lbs, you pay 
 actual shipping. 

 This bike is in used but not abused condition. It has some scratches in 
 the paint and isn’t perfect but still looks very nice. There is a dent in 
 the area of the right down tube shifter boss. Is was damaged during 
 shipping. It doesn’t affect the ride that I can tell and it being steel 
 I’d 
 feel confident leaving it this way for the remainder of its life. However 
 I 
 contacted Waterford about a repair and received this reply from Richard 
 Schwinn himself:

 Worst case scenario:

 Replace downtube/bosses:  $250

 Repaint: $700.

 If we can pull out the dent, replace the boss and touch up:  Figure 
 $4-500.  Unfortunately we'll need to replace the decals because the blend 
 will overlap.

 If you repaint, it's your opportunity to try a new color (though we 
 have the old one as well.

 Thanks

Potential buyers need the seattube measurement to help determine if they 
can swing a leg over it. Preferably center of crank bolt to top of toptube, 
that's how Riv measures frames.

Hi Patrick,
 
Yes, you read the sizing correctly. It’s a 57cm frame and I included the 
down tube measurement just FYI. I believe Heron’s website has more sizing 
info. 

I hope the pricing is considered fair. I’m not personally a fan of price 
gouging based on current events, but that’s life.

2021-12-19 Thread Patrick Moore 
$1200 is a nice price for a bike as well designed and built up as this,
especially in today's bike-price climate.

Aaron: you said: *Frame is 57cm C-C top tube and 58 C-C down tube.*

Do you mean 58 seat tube center to center, and 57 cm top tube center to
center?

No one I've heard of sizes a bike by down tube.

I'd be interested if I didn't have my 2020 Chauncey "near clone with AM hub
and integrated fenders, racks, lights" substitute for an earlier Riv Road
custom.
