While at Cirque, I learned that the rights to the Herse name had been purchased by Mike Kone of Colorado. Together with builder Mark Nobilette, they plan to build custom bikes under the "Rene Herse" name. This has generated some lively discussion on the Classic Rendezvous list and more than a few e-mails among those of us who build this style of bike. Mike and Mark plan to offer bikes at the very top of the price range and in the Herse style.
I'm throwing this out for discussion because it is an interesting marketing tactic. I don't think these new bike will be mistaken for real Herse bikes in the same way that the current Buggatti cars made by Volkswagen are not confused with classic Buggattis, But that is not to say they might not be excellent products.
If Mike and Mark plan to produce bikes that are comparable to the classics, and they do, then they have set a very high hurdle indeed. It is easy to say that you will build bikes that can carry on the legacy of, perhaps, the finest constructuer in history. But quite another thing to do it. It certainly takes a lot of confidence to believe that you can rise to such a standard and to essentially announce to the world that you will henceforth start building the very best bikes on the planet. Certainly Mark is a fine builder, but I have never seen any of the bikes from Mike's last venture, "Cone Head Bikes" so it's hard for me to speculate on the outcome. And Herse was famous for technical innovation. Can one suddenly decide they will be innovative? It's certainly possible in a larger company that can hire a research department, but for a small bike shop? I guess we'll see when the first bikes are delivered and are ridden. Let's not forget that Herse bikes are even more renowned for how they rode than what they looked like.
So, what do you think?

"Rene Herse" Name Revived

Gutsy, if you ask me. I can't imagine they're going to get a very favorable reception from the knowledgeable people who would buy the sort of bike they're trying to create.
In any case, let's hope it's more appropriate than the new "Motobecanes."

Norris Lockley wrote the following on the CR list:
"Ok...call me stupid, if you want, but twenty-four hours and goodness knows how many emails on this subject later, I still don't get the plot. It must have something to do with the American psyche
Is this how the story is going to go when the production... hand-building of the new RH's ,starts? Mark starts to build a frame as he has always built them, to a very high standard I am told, with great attention to detail, and to the client's personal specification or at least his physical measurements; he selects the tubes, fettles the lugs, mitres the tubes and the stays etc etc..brazes the whole thing up.. adds the braze-on bits..finishes the whole assembly..polishes and burnishes etc etc .sprays it to a fine lustre and then.... he is going to either coach-paint on or add decals with the name "Rene Herse". ...when what he has built is an excellent Mark Nobillete.? What's the point.? If I did that in the UK my clients would have me in front of the Trading Standards Board answering some pretty pointed questions. ..Even if you can point to the certificate entitling you to use the name, it still doesn't make the frame a Herse...just a Herse look-alike.
if there is such a demand for Herse-type frames in the States, why not just simply build a model, styled on Herse's designs and call it the Nobillete "Modele Rene Herse". or "Retro-Renes"? That, to use a word in popular political usage these days in the U" would be more "transparent", not that I am in any way suggesting that Mike and Mark are into counterfeiting Herses as some builders in the Uk have counterfeited Hetchins.
Another very puzzling problem for me is the reverence for and the almost..yes..worship of...Rene Herse frames that many American cyclists, and particularly some of the List members display. And yet it seems that this same reverence is in itself a little fickle.. witness the slight difference in opinion in some recent CR contributions about whether a road racing Herse is really as good as a touring or camping one. All that Rene or one of his artisans did was to choose different gauges of tubes, possibly different lugs ( I notice that the RH currently on Ebay has pressed lugs not cast ones), different drop-outs, and possibly fork blades and stays and cut ,mitre, file, braze, fettle, finish etc..all with the same level of skill and dedication as they did on the touring frames.
Clearly Rene produced frames according to customer demand and from what I have read in French cycling Press the demand for serious touring and camping bikes declined seriously in the 50s, as cars became more affordable, and
demand for racing frames tended to increase.
I have spent large parts of my free time in and around France for the past fifty-five years..and for the last thirty of those I have traded with dozens of French manufacturers, distributors, frame-builders/constructeurs etc..and I have to admit that on odd occasions during conversations accompanied by a "vin rouge" or two..I have heard the names of Singer and Herse mentioned, but never with anything approaching the same sense of awe that I encounter on this List. In comparison with the UK, France is a large country, but nevertheless I think that frame-purchasing customers on both sides of the Channel have, over the years, displayed similar trends and buying habits.
Many French people only acknowledge Paris in the sense that it is the administrative capital of France, and as such the Parisians have to be tolerated. Even in this age of cheap flights between regional capitals, of TGVs, of fast autoroutes I still met up with an enormous number of French folk who have never been and even worse have no inclination to visit Paris. "Paris is for the Parisians...not for the French !" is a not uncommon saying. French cyclists tended to purchase their hand-built frames from local builders..and in the heyday of French cycling there were hundreds of very competent builders in the capital cities of the French regions and departments, such as Lyon, St Etienne, Nice, Dijon, Lille, Macon, Grenoble etc.
If you lived in the centre or south or north of France,why bother to travel all the way to Paris to get a Herse when you could cycle over to visit Reiss, Longoni, Routens, Follis, Ondet, Errard, Janicaud, Duret, whose products were probably perceived to be the equal of the Singers and Herses of Paris, assuming that is that the "paysans" of France at large had ever heard of the latter.
I have a question to pose to the List..and it isn't a rhetorical one. If Herse frames and bikes are so good.. so desirable so renowned and so much an integral part of the French "patrimoine".then why has no French builder ( and there are still some KOF ones still working in France producing some excellent frames ) sought to relaunch the marque? Perhaps the idea never occurred to M Chollet of Follis, or Jean-Paul Routens of Cycles Routens, or Daniel Cattin, or Alain Michel, or Jean-Sebastien Joffres, or M Besson, or M Genet, or Alain Tourral, or Pithioud, or Gilles Berthoud?
Why does it take a couple of Americans to keep the name alive? Would it be the same if, after their respective retirements at some future date, the name of Brian Bayliss were to be stuck on to frames built by a crafts man in the suburbs of Paris? Would English-made and transferred Richard Sachs frames be like the real thing that so many discerning American cyclists now wait years to own? I really think not.
To close with a cynical question, that of the price of the "nouveaux Herse" frames. Is it expected that they will, due to their Gallic influence and forebears, carry a premium...perhaps a "cachet - supplement"? More importantly...
would members of the List who lust to ride astride an "RH" regardless of its country of origin, be willing to pay that premium?
I'm due to spend quite a lot of time in July in and around Lyon. Does anyone chance to know who owns the rights to the "REYHAND" brand.? I'm just thinking that maybe the time is propitious to relaunch REYHAND, to be produced with finest UK craftsmanship.
Norris Lockley....perhaps just old age catching up with me... Settle UK."

I'm very suprised that Lily Herse sold her father's name to two framebuilders from Colorado. Some french randonneurs who bought their bike to Rene Herse will probably shocked. I recently talk to former Rene Herse pilots. These guys were able to run Paris Brest Paris in 46 hours on Herse bike or tandem. We talked about Lily Herse and they didn't speak about this.
I don't understand why they don't create their own brand like Vanilia Cycle or Velo Orange. On the other hand what a challenge for them to run for excellence.
- david_nj said...
This happens in the motorcycling world fairly often. A guy out in the Pacific Northwest bought the rights to the Norton Trademark. He made some really nice modern versions of Norton bikes but with much of the spirit and charisma and it all seemed quite authentic. It was hard not to like what he was up to. I believe the venture failed though.
Around the same time, a really cheesy guy bought the rights to the Rene Herse of motorcycling: Vincent. He made some god-awful bikes, based around a plain vanilla Honda motor. That was an insult to the universe. No wonder he never was able to get the venture financed.
I just can't believe this in the case of RH. F'chrissakes, that's the man's personal name!!! It's not some corporate trademark which can be carelessly traded back and forth!
- Mark said...
I, personally, would rather have a Mark Nobillete labeled as such, not a badged Rene Herse. And if I wanted a bike that displayed neat innovative ideas/techniques/components, I would commision it as such. Of course, things like cranks would be difficult, but Bruce Gordon makes his own brakes and racks, so it is possible. If anything, a decked out Gordon with Mr. Gordon's racks/brakes, is as good as one can get in a constructeur bike, wouldn't you say? His craftsmanship and innovation are unsurpassed. And they ride like a dream. I know. I have one.
It is one man's name on that downtube, unlike a Rivendell, which is a fictitious name. A top notch builder with credentials and experience that meet Grant Peterson's approval can build them. Same for Velo Orange.
Interesting, we will see how this pans out.
- Chris Kulczycki said...
One of the things I'm learning with Velo Orange is that each frame is better than the last. Even though I would say Johnny's skill is on par with Mark's or most fine American builders, getting the details of a frame as complicated as a rando frame is darn complicated. There are so many little details... It will be very difficult to get a Herse style frame right the first time.
And with our no-expense-spared VO "Grand Cru" rando frames coming next year there might be another alternative to the new RH ;<)
- Rick Guggemos said...
Masis from China sell, so why not a Herse from a bespoke builder?
As to innovation - it takes a mindset more than size of company. Most innovation is merely different and offers marketing points with little end-user benefit. I can't speak to Mark and Mike, but believe that if one's approach is to recognize problems and challenges, and one open's his/her mind to simple/creative/elegant solutions - innovation occurs. Otherwise it won't.
But, do riders mostly want innovation or status? I don't know.
- AB said...
I'd like to know how two small frame builders have the cash to buy the rights to anything? Or, did the Herse estate give away the rights for too little?
- Anonymous said...
This should settle the "what to call the VO sub-brand" issue. Cyclles l'Escargot? NO!
Quick, call Cerberus and ask how much they want for the name Cycles Chrysler.
I think using the Rene Herse brand would not be so unseemly if it weren't the contructeur's own name.
- Brian said...
I guess I don't really see the point in it- This may sound sacreligious, but well, Herse is gone. He made some beautiful frames, but that was a long time ago, and technology has marched on without him. Seriously.
Personally, I'd love to see someone really step up and build a bike that herse would be proud of, but doesn't slavishly follow every herse detail. Herse made 18 pound bikes for the technical trials 60 years ago. Surely using modern materials and components someone could build a 12 pound touring bike today. That's the spirit of Herse- looking forward and using the latest and greatest advancements to make a technically superior bike, not fawning over the past and using antiquated methods of fabrication to create a modern antique.
- e-RICHIE said...
the best chats about this issue are the ones that are going on in private cc fields atmo. the smart money says that the CR posts by norris lockley and joel metz best sum up how the bright minds feel about the resucitated marque.

- Bob Rogen said...
I will stick, with confidence, to my Mariposa 700c tourer and planned TOEI 650B randonneur bikes. And I agree with another post: call it a "Mark Nobilette" and include Herse details (as TOEI does). But hey, it'd their money (not our bnusiness to know how they can do it fiscally) so let's just sit back and let them go for it. Their venture is bold but it cannot hurt the minor revolution we are all a part of these days in bringing back the randonneur design and riding ethic that originated with Singer, Herse, and Routens (to name a few) bikes and their original owners. Hey, Leica brought out its MP model in 2003 to emulate and improve the original MP of 1956, and nothing bad has come of it. (Chris-is there an espresso machine analogy?).
- Michael S said...
In the espresso world, the best grouphead, the E61, has been around and essentially unchanged since 1961!
- Doug said...
So I would say that most seem to be fully behind Mssrs. Cone and Nobilette if not planning to buy one themselves, based on Classic-Rendezvous traffic. I would also say the vocal minority is what has been transcribed/represented here. Also, did you see the Nobilette demontable at NAHBS? It was his own design I think and pretty darn slick. BTW, I don't think it is really fair comparing either of the V-O builders (who are certainly doing nice work) with Mark and his decades of experience, from scratch lug fabrication etc. Just my opinions...
- Ernesto Garcia said...
"Hey, Leica brought out its MP model in 2003 to emulate and improve the original MP of 1956, and nothing bad has come of it. "
I don't know if Leica is the best example to use. Leica, as a company, is in deep financial trouble, and the reintroduction of the MP had more to do with marketing than with "improving" the original. Leica is stuck between choosing between its core business - high-end rangefinder manual cameras, with excellent glass - and following the market by going digital. It is trying to play both games...and it is losing.
As for the new Herse: bon chance...and I hope that they fail.
- p. squiddy said...
I saw the ad in BQ last week, and I just thought, why? Nobilette's bikes seem quite nice, so why brand them with such a famous name with which there's no connection beyond a cash transaction? A new Alex Singer may not be built by him, but it's built by Csuka, who has a long, long history with Singer and is in the same shop as Singer was. Mark's work can stand on its own.

It's madness.
You could be the world's best living writer of clipped prose, and you'd still never change your name to "Ernest Hemingway".
I also don't think that the typically insular CR consensus of "they are great guys and will do a great job" is representative of the broader reaction by the potential customer base.
One of the first responses on CR was "how will this affect the values of our collections?" Cheeses. :rolleyes:
- Anonymous said...
I'm with several of youse guys. What's the point? Herse, like Brian hinted, was all about improving the cutting edge of bicycle building, not copying the very best bikes of 1897. My honest opinion: have the guts to put your own brand/name on your product.
- Tim said...
This is certain to be controversial, in part because of Mike Kone's involvement. Mr. Kone has been rather controversial in the past for pushing up the price of vintage bike gear, with some people seeing him as an opportunist sucking money out of people's wallets and others seeing him as a resource for stuff they'd not be able to find otherwise.
I have to admit to discomfort with turning Rene Herse's name into a commodity. On the other hand, I also know that making a living as a custom bike frame builder is extremely difficult and getting more so with the proliferation of builders as the bars to entry have been dropped dramatically. Mark Nobilette build frames under his own name as well as for Rivendell.
I think that bob rogen and anonyme pegged it with the notion of producing the "Modele Rene Herse" and going the Toei route. There's a market for that. I'd buy a Mark Nobilette, but I won't buy a Rene Herse-alike.
- Anonymous said...
Those pics from a few posts back of Richard Sachs' 'Rene Singer' lugs seems to be going in the right direction, rather than weighting a rando bike with what amounts to a branding equivalent of a boob job. RS (if I am guessing correctly) is making lugs for constructeur-style bikes, and borrowing two of the most famous names in rando-land--which is different from brazing up frames in the US (it will be in the US, right? not offshore?) from Taiwanese lugs and who knows what tubing, and preying on wealthy American's francophile tendencies in a search for Old World Authenticity.
But I have been wrong before.
M Burdge
- winston said...
so is that tubing that bolts into the lugs? I recently saw a carminargent that had that concept except that the tubing was octogonal instead of round. Is this picture a certain bike, a rene herse, because I would like to have a go at building a frame like this.
- Anonymous said...
There is no question that Mark & Mike can create a beautiful bike if they choose to. Herse's lug work is not spectacular by modern standards, but his completeness as a builder still stands alone. Lugs, Cranks, Chainrings, Bottom Brakets, Stems, Racks and then there is the crazy lighting system that has contacts on the steerer. I think the real question is 'can someone faithfully recreate all that Herse did and make a profit that allows them to continue'?
This business is notoriusly skimpy on profit margin with most 'successful' framebuilders living on beans and rice. How do you incur the costs of tooling and machine time to to replicate a complete Herse and find people that are willing to pay enough to make it worthwhile. The bikes will need to cost $15k, maybe more. Ask Bruce Gordan how many bikes he has sold at this price point and I think you will have your answer. After all, isn't that why most of you are here, because Chris offers high value components & frames?
- Anonymous said...
I don't think it's madness, it's just business . . . I don't know, in a postmodern age, the concepts of identity, the "name" of a brand, the notion of "authenticity" have all been wildly diluted, in an obviously cynical but not necessarily bad way . . . I guess we all have to make our own choices. I bought my Tennessee-built Merlin knowing it wasn't built by the same exact guys as the old Merlins. Still, it does have Tom Kellogg's hand all over it, and that means a lot to me. The thing to do nowadays is to try to redo the Mini or the Bug, get some of the nostalgia and coolness while making a good modern product, that seems to one of the great marketing formulas for aging boomers. Rivendell and Velo Orange are two brands which do bear some relation to this strategy. I am sure that's basically what this venture will do. Nobilette is a very good builder. Would I buy it? No, but that's simply because I'd rather patronize a person, not a sentimental notion. When I say a person, that can mean anything, even a nice shop-girl in Florence where I bought a Colnago once. I am glad I made that purchase. I enjoyed buying it and enjoy riding it. I've also bought lots of bikes made by lesser known American builders who, in my estimation, made a good product at the time and I felt they deserved to stay in business another year. I am glad I helped them. OTOH: anyone who wants to parade around on Sunday with a glorious name on their downtube, and that's what it takes for them to feel good about themselves . . . well, you probably get how I feel about that. Sorry for the cynicism, I'm sure they'll be excellent bikes.

I believe the bike pictured is a "demontable", a take apart frame. There are sockets in the top tube and down tube.

Deja vu anyone?
Perhaps I have missed something here (I most certainly have on the CR forum) but this very same discussion would, or should, have gone on when Faliero Masi 'sold his name' and left California in the 1970s and the, at the time, little known builder named Mario Confente cranked out "Masi"s. He was then followed by several other revered builders who allowed their work to be labeled "Masi"...
To some, those frames are better than the ones actually built by Mr. F.M. and are now sought after collectables.
It all begs the question, 'what is in a name?'. Artists throughout history have worked on creative marvels under another's name. The results are what we truly honor and respond to.
- Anonymous said...
I thought about the California Masi's too . . . keep in mind that it's only now that we see them as superior to the original, and that is probably still a minority view. It's an old practice, though. . . many of the old brands did similar things. I had a Pogliaghi for a while that was, I believe, a Rossin . . .then Basso made some really nice ones for a year or two. Simply because Pogliaghi had a market which well outlived his own active career as builder. Maybe now we'll see a veritable grabfest of recycled French brands, but we're not far from that now. . . Me, I'm waiting for a Taiwanese "Saint-Exupery".
can I get faux ostrich-leather trim on my bags? thanks!

Are Rene Herse bicycles made by his assistants under his supervision considered geniune Herses? Are the Rene Herses made by his family after he died real Herses? Is any Herse labeled bike made at the original location geniune?

I really don't get the trend to bring back old French brands. First Specialized resurrected Roval, then came Mafac, and now Herse. Reviving dead brands is commonplace in consumer marketing. However, most companies chose to revive brands that were at least well known (think the recent reintroduction of Tab soda)
Bringing back Herse, Roval and Mafac is an all together different proposition. Mafac was in their day a well known brand but most of today's cycling public came into the sport long after Mafac left. Herse and Roval on the other hand never really achieved anything more than cult-like popularity among niche audiences. I really don't see the point in bringing them back. In the case of Herse it seems like an especially bad idea since such bikes: A) appeal to a microscopically small audience and B) that audience is very knowledgeable and demanding.

New homages to classics like the Levi's 501 jean by companies like Sugar Cane are simliar stories. The new product is made on the same vintage looms that the originals were made on. The cotton is better than the originals. The construction and quality is just as good if not better than the original. But, no one would agree that a new Sugar Cane 1966 jean is the same as a 40-year-old pair of original Levi's 501 jeans.
A new version, whether it's a Sugar Cane jean, Rene Herse bicycle or Eames chair, lacks a certain spirit or quality. As Christopher Alexander writes in The Timeless Way of Building (recommended, by the way, to all who appreciate Velo Orange): "There is a central quality which is the root criterion of life and spirit in a man, a town, a building, or a wilderness. This quality is objective and precise, but it cannot be named." Some words attempt to describe THE QUALITY, but fail to truly capture what it is. These are: alive, whole, comfortable, free, exact, egoless, eternal.

On the website they state that the shape and style of the Rene Herse lugs will be strictly followed. I don't know if that's the essence of Herse, is it? Niobilette may turn bipolar from the ornate Rivendell lugs and the simpler Herse luges.
Will they still have "retro" touches such as chroming and box-lining? Did they get the secret paint code to "bleu fonce"?
- peter weigle said...
Until 2 weeks ago I had 3 1959 Rene Herse bikes in my shop, (now down to 2.)
Each one had a different set of lugs, and the shapes were not at all the same, this in the same model year...
From my perspective there is no definitive, or patented RH shape.
There is a general shape that could be called Herse style,,, but there were differences.
Blue Fonce is the Singer house color, not Herse...

The bikes will tell the story, buying the name is marketing. Whether you think such marketing is in good taste is, well, up to you. Perhaps the bikes will overcome my own sense that some things, like reviving the name "Rene Herse," would have been something better left alone.

the word on the street is that this very endevour is going to raise the tide for all steel/traditional framebuilders.
and i quote:
"Through the marketing and publicity of RH, I hope that all the fine builders benefit as the pie is made larger."
that's cool, huh!
- JoelMatthews said...
I have seen several Nobilette's and think he is a talented builder.
Doing it this seems to me a disservice to both the Herse legacy and to Nobilette's. On the one hand, Rene Herse bikes are bikes made by Rene Herse or at least in his shop under his watch. On the other, Nobilette seems almost to be suggesting he needs more of a draw than his consistently excellent work to sell bikes.
If anything, I like the idea stated above: Mark Nobilette's Rene Herse model.

Who wants to explain that their bike is not a "real" Rene Herse?

Yo - time for you living framebuilders to start contemplating the licensing name game - why leave it up to your relatives? Time to put feelers out now...sell your rights while you're still alive to enjoy them. And turn them into a real monument...buy the naming rights to the East Haddam Bypass, turn it into Weigle Way....West Maple Street into Sachs Street. Merely a few modest suggestions.

I hope it's a tightly worded license that doesn't include the right to sublicense. Otherwise we may see Chinese-built Rene Herse bikes showing up at Wal-Mart.
Also, I wonder what the royalty rate is. If Mr. Nobilette sells 50 bikes a year at $10K apiece, and the royalty rate is, what, 5%, that's a paltry $25K a year to the Herse estate that this legendary marque has been sold for. I reckon all three of those numbers are higher than will actually be the case. As they say, life is cheap.

While it's not a new Rene Herse, I have a 2004 Alex Singer.
While its a fine bike, if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy one of Peter Weigle's creations over just about anything out there - past or present Rene Herse's included.
Funny thing, it's Mike K's JP Weigle and his comments (as well as others) on how it rides that really showed me what the pinacle of such bikes could be.
So, while I know Mike and Mark and consider them both friends I'd be more interested in a bike with Mark's own name on it than one created by Mark but wearing RH labels.
(and Peter, if you'd be interested in trading one of your fine creations for my Alex Singer, I'm definitely open to the idea)
If nothing else, I hope this brings more work Mark's way. Between this, Rivendell's work, and his own named framesets I hope he's very successful (as I wish for RS, JPW,...)
I do wonder if Mike and Mark will bring back RH style stems and cranksets. Now that'd be COOL !

The cranksets would definitely make the whole thing worthwhile.
- Mark said...
Oh, they will be excellent bikes and I think tru to the randonneur spirit with some new treats.
I think the thing that made the RH special was the little touches like trick wiring inside the frame. I do hope they won't try to replicate those and instead work towards a top quality, well executed, beautiful product that pleases the owner on the road and when displayed in the living room.
Think dynamic sculpture.
I recently had the opportunity to ride Chris' "Velo-Orange" (altho it was painted silver!) and was very pleased with its ride and appearance. I would have preferred slightly narrower bars, but that's a matter of preference.
It is so cool to see a randonneur resurgence, and this can only be good for the sport and the people in it.
Bonne chance Mike and Mark

Herse made few frames personally, and less and less as time progressed. He had talented hired help. He was more of a machinist and businessman, and conceptualizer. Remember that RH's popularity was unfairly exaggerated by his relationship with Rebour, who promoted Herse by his position at Le Cycle. As a person he was not well liked, even despised, including by his daughter. Because documentation itself gives "credibility" to almost anything, this explains the disproportionate
prestige of RH cycles. RH was also savvy enough to "sponsor" the best riders in the era to produce impressive showings in the various "epreuves", and of course, this was all highlighted by Rebour. These facts are not meant to (and do not)
detract from the innocent machines themselves. Studied as a quantity, RH bicycles vary as much as any handmade "quantity", price being a large influence. His membership in the FFCT "morally required" him to offer a "Federal" model, for example. "Innovation" is difficult to ascribe other than to perhaps the stems. He borrowed the internal wiring/sprung bushing theme from somebody else (local). Oversized downtubes, internal cables, nice racks, nice work, fancy cantilevers, roller brake hangers, SKF BB bearings, etc... were ALL common amongst the elite builders of the day, although you wouldn't guess that because Rebour didn't tell you. Lily's performance in World Championship events didn't hurt either, but that was HER, not the bike. In the end we have a 40 year production, dominated by above average to very nice, but sprinkled with mediocre and even bad. Completely normal and understandable. The "religion" is
beyond practical reasoning, and is primarily a derivative of the documentation, and the fact that until now (sort of) only the French of the 40's-70's (NOT currently) and the Japanese of the 40's till present, shared the same bicycle "culture".
As to the "credibility" of carrying on a name/tradition of bike making,
it's a relatively neutral thing, colored by perception/reputation of the brand. Hence the above fairly accurate assessment. It has practical/buy-able business strategy, and will "work" with a limited client base who go to that church. There's reasons why the name WAS sold, and why there was no French buyer.

Putting the Herse name on a bike made in Boulder doesn't bother me as long as the finished product lives up to its claims. Sometimes a super-custom product turns out great. Sometimes an intelligently-designed production model does the job just as well at half the price. Maybe the TIG-welded jobs from the new Herse's sister company, Boulder Bicycles, will turn out to be the better bargain.
- Anonymous said...
Well, it's certainly an ambitious project, but at the price levels I've heard of, I wouldn't put a 3 dollar bill on that venture. Plus the real Herses are still coming out of the woodwork at an alarming rate, and are likely to for a long while to come.
- PeAK said...
Michael Kone is offereing a line of more affordable bikes called Boulder Bicycle that based upon the Herse geometry and cost about $3,000.
These are fully equipped (fenders, rack, lights) and have been recently been reviewed very favourably by Bicycle Quarterly, Vol. 7, No. 3 (Spring 2009).
- Mike said...
Does anyone know anything about a road bicycle named "Boulder" that is reportedly made in Taiwan? The bike is in no way made in Boulder, Colorado. Painted blue with lug construction. Mike of Boulder bikes confirmed no parts are made in Taiwan.
It may be a counterfeit, but could it be a legit Taiwan-made bike?
- Anonymous said...
I have a blue "Boulder" bicycle. It has a mountain decal on it. It sounds exactly like what Mike was asking about. It has Shimano components and is stamped "Made in Taiwan".

NEW YORK - The All-Star Game serves as a crown jewel showcase for baseball's best talent as well as the host ballpark. For Citi Field, the Mets' home since 2009 and the site of this year's Midsummer Classic on July 16, the diverse and delicious food at the park represents a highlight of any in-game experience. Even if the baseball isn't always at its best in Queens (ahem), baseball fans will be guaranteed excellent culinary offerings throughout the ballpark. On Wednesday, the Mets and its food and beverage partner ARAMARK hosted a tasting event in the Caesars Club at Citi Field to sample the menu for this year's All-Star Game. And let me tell you, it was fantastic. The fare at the ballpark -- among the best in all of Major League Baseball -- provides a wide variety of styles and cuisines, from tacos at El Verrano Taqueria, barbecue at Blue Smoke, burgers and fries from New York City's iconic Shake Shack, pizza from Two Boots, Italian delicacies from Mama's of Corona, sushi from Daruma, and signature items including "Pastrachos" and the extremely popular Pat LaFrieda Original Filet Mignon Steak Sandwich. All of these items and more were on display at the tasting event, in addition to a few new items specially created for the All-Star Game. The Mets and Citi Field plan to bring their A culinary game for this high profile event. "The All-Star Game is an opportunity for us to reach out to a lot of fans that haven't been here," said Mike Landeen, SVP of Venue Services and Operations for the Mets. "A lot of the local fans know what we have to offer but this is definitely our catering and culinary staff's opportunity to really show what we have here at Citi Field. We feel as though we have raised the bar and will continue to do so." As soon as MLB officially awarded the Mets the 2013 All-Star Game in May 2012, the team went into game-planning mode. Robert Flowers, ARAMARK's Executive Chef at Citi Field, huddled with General Manager Tom Funk to start plotting out the logistics for the three-day extravaganza. ARAMARK expects to serve 37,000 hot dogs, 15,000 pounds of French fries, 12,500 burgers, 1,700 orders of nachos, and 900 pounds of filet mignon throughout the event. It takes a lot of planning and manpower -- 500 additional temporary workers have been hired -- to pull that off without a hitch. In addition to all the operational details to be worked out, Flowers knew he wanted to create a signature food item to debut at the All-Star Game. Earlier this year, the All-Star Meatball Hero was born. This mouth-watering concoction combines a custom blend of Pat LaFrieda ground beef, pork and veal made from Chef Flowers' meatball recipe with his family's centuries' old sweet Italian gravy recipe from Sicily. The hero is topped with fresh buffalo mozzarella and fried basil and served on a long sesame seed roll. I sampled a miniature version of the All-Star Meatball Hero (the full-size version will be $14 and available near section 138) and can confirm it is delicious. Chef Flowers provided some of the back story on how this creation came to be. "Tom Funk and I thought to ourselves what can we showcase that fans will take to easily, something that they're not going to shy away from, something that's ballpark friendly but at the same time has a story behind it," Flowers said. "My wife has this phenomenal phenomenal old recipe for marinara sauce. How can I use this marinara sauce? I work with one of the best meat purveyors in the world, Pat LaFrieda, so I'll make a meatball. So I used his meat, the mozzarella we use is special mozzarella from Italy, a piece of fried basil and the garlic toasted bun. My mouth is watering just talking about it." Other items I had the opportunity to sample included the Nathan's Pastrami Dog (Nathan's all beef hot dog smothered with chopped pastrami and topped with Gold's deli mustard -- thumbs up), Major League Grilled Cheese (Swiss, cheddar, gouda and bacon -- another thumbs up), Citi Field Loaded Tater Tots (cheddar cheese sauce, bacon bits and scallions -- I think you know these were amazing), Pancetta Mac and Cheese (if you're sitting in a suite, you are very fortunate indeed) and the Mama's Italian Special Hero (tasty). I had previously sampled the New Yawkah Sandwich available in the Promenade Club (corned beef topped with sweet potato fries, bacon, pickles, slaw and thousand island dressing on a pretzel roll) so I chose not to sample it at the tasting event. Trust me when I say it is fantastic. I asked Chef Flowers for his three must-try items. "The number one showstopper is going to be our All-Star Meatball Hero," Flowers said. "The second one is definitely our Pat LaFrieda steak sandwich. And the third is the New Yawkah sandwich in the Promenade Club." If meat isn't your thing, no problem. Citi Field has several vegetarian options available including Veggie Burgers and Veggie Dogs, Vegetarian Tacos (roasted portobello mushrooms, zucchini, corn and poblano peppers in fresh corn tortillas) at El Verano Taqueria, the Caprese Panini (in the Caesars Club) and the Ricotta Crostini (freshly made cows milk ricotta cheese, whipped and finished with honey and truffle oil, served with grilled crostinis) at Pat LaFrieda's Chop House. Melissa's Fruit Cart can also be found at both sections 104 and 318 if you're into that sort of thing. On the sweet side, I sampled a few dessert items as well. I actually don't have much of a sweet tooth (I prefer salty/crunchy/savory), but the few items I tried were absolutely worth the caloric sacrifice. If you're lucky enough to be sitting in a suite for the game, not only will you be able to have that amazing Mac and Cheese Trio (Pancetta, Lobster, Three Cheese), but you can try an assortment of homemade mini cupcakes in a variety of flavors. The standout? S'mores. Yes, s'mores in a cupcake form. The cake tasted like graham cracker, with marshmallow in the middle and topped with dark chocolate. It was as good as it sounds. Mama's of Corona had delicious homemade cannolis. (The woman who served me assured me that ricotta is the lightest and healthiest of the cheeses, so cannolis are practically guilt-free.) But the real blockbuster dessert item that blew everybody away was the bite-sized Raspberry Cheesecake Doughnuts with White Chocolate Dipping Sauce available in the Acela Club. These indulgent delights were perfection. Every culinary detail on display at the event demonstrated a commitment to make this All-Star Game memorable not only for the baseball but for the cuisine as well. "When the fans come here from all over the world, I want them to leave here thinking that we have the best food and beverage operation in all of baseball and all of major league sports," Flowers said.

Kansas State survives late lapses in regulation to beat No. 7 Kansas in overtime
The Kansas freshmen get all the attention and it's well deserved, but Kansas State freshman Marcus Foster is a star-in-the-making in the Big 12 Conference and he got the best of the seventh-ranked Jayhawks in an 85-82 overtime win Monday night.
Kansas State students flooded the court in celebration leading most of the Wildcats to climb on top of the scorer's table. ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe wasn't about to allow some crazy students to prevent her from getting her postgame interview and she jumped up on the scorer's table as well.
Foster scored 20 points to lead the Wildcats to a win over their rivals after losing to the Jayhawks by 26 earlier this season. Foster has scored 54 points in his past two games, wins over Texas and the Jayhawks. Senior Will Spradling was just as big for the Wildcats with 15 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals.
But despite those strong efforts, Kansas State nearly let the win slip away. It blew a late lead in regulation being outscored 10-1 in the final 1 minute, 47 seconds. Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins tied the game with 6 seconds remaining on a ridiculous follow off his own missed finger roll to send it to overtime.
But the Jayhawks didn't have quite enough to overcome a determined Kansas State team that needed the win to enhance its resume for March. The Wildcats improved to 17-7 and 7-4 in the Big 12. Now with five wins over ranked teams this season, Kansas State is solidly positioned for tournament time provided it doesn't falter down the stretch of the regular season.
Kansas came in to the game with a two-game lead over every other team in the Big 12 but now finds itself just one game ahead of a Texas team it lost to. There is little room for error for the Jayhawks the rest of the way if they hope to win their 10th consecutive Big 12 regular season title.
After the game, Kansas coach Bill Self said center Joel Embiid will get some time off to help him recover from an injured back. Embiid played just 18 minutes against the Wildcats and scored six points with six rebounds. Numerous NBA mock drafts have projected Embiid as the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft if he decides to turn pro after the season.

Hillel has a building that is adjacent to Case Western Reserve University. It was opened in 1972 to serve the students attending Case Western Reserve as well as students at other campuses in the Cleveland area. It is a drop in center for students who want to relax in the student lounge, watch TV, study, or just schmooze with their friends. Students can use a new game room that has a pool table, ping pong top, foosball table, basketball game and dart board. Many students come in for a snack, talk with program staff, inquire about Jewish life on campus, leadership opportunities, Israel trips, and internships.
The building is also home to a wide range of programs including weekly Shabbat services and dinner, Holiday celebrations, social programs, cultural events, learning opportunities, speakers, and educational experiences. Through all of these the building becomes a "home away from home" for Jewish students and the center of Jewish life at Case Western Reserve University.

Burriss Amps Introduces the Dirty Red
Burriss Amps and Effects Pedals, maker of the Royal Bluesman introduces the newest member in their series of small, powerful and affordable, hand-made tube amplifiers, the Dirty Red.
Known for his line of full size tube amps – Switch Master, Shadow, dB Special and the versatile Royal Bluesman head—builder Bob Burriss confirms the statement that dynamite does come in small packages with the small and nasty Dirty Red tube head.
"For the rock and roller, Dirty Red delivers the intensity, the tone and the gain their looking for in a cool looking package they can afford and can easily carry from gig to gig. You can crank Dirty Red up for a show or dial it down to get that nasty sound even if you're practicing in an apartment," says Mr. Burriss.
With a footprint of only 11.5" x 6.75" x 7.13" and weighing in at 12.7 lbs., the Class A Dirty Red is a medium to high gain rock and roll machine featuring an EH - EZ81 Rectifier, two J/J - EL84's and three Mullard 12AX7's to give you everything you want and more. With full EQ, a foot switchable effects loop (pedal optional), extremely flexible Master Volume, multi-tap outputs at 4, 8 & 16 ohms and a universal power supply, Dirty Red has it all in a small, US built, hand-made package at an exceptional price.
The optional Power Loop foot-pedal for Dirty Red provides control over the effects loop and, like the VIB+ pedal with the Royal Bluesman Amp, it provides front of stage power to drive multiple pedals at once.
Burriss is pleased to have Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Sebastian, Guitar Virtuoso Johnny A, and Rockabilly legend Danny B. Harvey on their list of happy Burriss players. Also playing through Burriss gear is Brad Rice, Guitarist for Son Volt, Tift Merrit, Ryan Adams and recent touring guitarist for Multi-Platinum and Grammy Award winning artist Keith Urban's worldwide tour, and Alligator Recording Artists Brophy Dale and Buzz Campbell just off tour with Lee Rocker.
Go on-line to www.burrissamps.com where you can learn more about Burriss Amps and Effects Pedals, our dealers, and line of US made gear. For more information, contact Ira Planer at 866-997-4546, 919-848-1844 or via email email@example.com.

Review Details
Darien Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on March 15, 2012):
- Have about 12,000 miles / 2 years on my Darien. Still stiff as a board even after washings. Also front cargo pockets are easily accessed but not at all waterproof. Do not carry anything there that cannot get damp like a cell phone or camera. Overall it works pretty well though and w/o the liner can be rolled up stored pretty compact when temp is unbearably hot. Other jackets may be more comfortable but not have the toughess of the Darien.

As new space powers like China and India surge ahead with their efforts to create moon bases and launch manned missions to Mars, the U.S.'s space program sits at a crossroads. Once one of the world's brightest scientific beacons, an underfunded NASA now has to come to grips with the reality that it may be beaten in the critical return to the Moon and journey to Mars. Now with the Ares I rocket prototype having logged its test flight, the true decision time about the fate of NASA begins in the government and scientific forums.
Many complain — we've already gone to the moon, why go back? "And what's the point of expensive programs like the International Space Station (ISS) that cost taxpayers millions and return results that on the surface don't seem a cost-effective way of solving pressing Earth based problems?" they argue.
On the other hand, the lure of exploration and scientific discovery are always driving forces, as is national pride. While the NASA officials would be unlikely to admit it on record, most will be embarrassed if we get beaten to Mars. For these reasons alone, the U.S. is unlikely to turn away from its dreams of exploring the solar system — however, the critical emerging argument is how best to achieve such dreams.
Retired aerospace executive Norman Augustine is leading a panel that has supplied a 155-page report to Congress with suggestions from individuals intimately involved in NASA's past successes. The panel has suggested some rather drastic shifts in the government's space spending strategy.
Among the panel's recommendations are to focus on refining Ares I before deploying it and, in the meantime, buy rides to low-Earth orbit from foreign players. It also recommends that rather than scrapping the ISS or shuttle fleet, to instead retain them, using them on a reduced basis. Finally, it recommends that rather than trying to set up a moon base, we instead focus on traveling to Mars, or alternative low gravity destinations such as near-Earth asteroids or the Martian moons.
Congress, though, largely feels that the such drastic changes are unnecessary, and is leaning towards pumping $3B USD extra into the space agency to try to fix its problems. U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson — a Florida Democrat who flew aboard the space shuttle and helped convince President Barack Obama to give NASA's top spot to his former mission commander, Charles Bolden – says that President Obama promised him, "NASA will get enough money to do what it does best: go explore the heavens."
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat who is married to an astronaut and chairs the House Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee, characterized the Ares I-X prototype test program as "well managed" and "executable". She said that the test flight showed NASA to be "on track with its human space exploration program", and that no major policy shift was needed.
The Augustine Panel, though, insists NASA's plans are a surefire recipe for failure. They say that the return to the Moon will cost approximately $145B USD — $45B USD more than previously estimated. Given the current NASA budget of $18B USD yearly, even President Obama's planned cash infusion won't be able to provide enough funding by 2020, the planned mission date, the panel argues. The panel adds that the shuttle fleet's retirement timetable is unrealistic and should be extended to 2011. And it sharply remarks about the government's plans to shutter the ISS in 2015, commenting, "It makes no sense to shut down the space station after five years of operation."
The panel argues that rockets from commercial startups such as SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Orbital Sciences Corp.'s Taurus 2 would better serve the industry. Here a critical question becomes whether Augustine and his colleagues — many of them who work in the private sector — can offer unbiased analysis, given that many of them would stand to profit from such a shift.
Currently NASA plans on offering $50M USD over the next year to fund the commercial development of rockets to carry astronauts. The Augustine Panel, though, suggests that Ares won't be ready for manned missions by 2017, and that heavier investment in commercial endeavors is the only practical approach. XCOR Aerospace's Jeff Greason, a member of the panel said it was his "personal opinion" that commercial rockets were a better value than Ares.
So will Congress follow the recommendations and "pull the plug", cutting back on Ares, after its first successful flight? Or will it go its own way, charging ahead with Ares? The omnibus spending bill that applies to NASA, which is to be passed in a few weeks, will shed some clues. But ultimately the nation may have to wait for a Presidential address from Barack Obama before the true fate of NASA and the U.S. space program is made clear. dedekusn, fr: dailyTech.

KnProxy is a small PHP based Web proxy that makes use of the cURL module built into PHP. It uses limited server resources while still maintaining performance. KnProxy is aimed to be easy to use and does not inject information into Web pages. It returns the Web page as is, only changing the links to the resources to be proxied. The URL is obfuscated to prevent tracking or URL filtering. KnProxy has extended support for AJAX calls and JavaScript. This tool can be useful in places where the Internet is not as free as intended. It is also good for bypassing school or office firewalls. It is especially optimized to get past the GFW of China.
NiX Proxy Script is a Web-based proxy script. It is similar to a typical proxy server; a Web proxy script downloads requested Web pages and files and forwards them back to the user. The service is provided through a Web page, which allows instant access to the proxy without editing your browser connection settings.
KnProxy Lambda is a branch of KnProxy that uses Java and PHP to provide users with a safe and balanced proxy service. Communications between the Java client and the PHP based server are encrypted in highly secure encryption methods. Traffic is also distributed among many servers to prevent flow monitoring. KnProxy Lambda allows users to set up a full proxy processing POST, GET, and AJAX Requests on any server offering PHP. It is also compatable with APJP servers, allowing for a wider network and an easier migration.
