As all will know, these bikes were designed by Grant at Rivendell as a collaboration with Rona Components, then owned by Ted Durant. and produced at Waterford. This beautiful blue-green road frame bears serial number B00055, and was built in February 2000 with Reynolds 531 tubing. (For further information, all of the original Heron web pages are still accessible: http://www.heronbicycles.com/geometry.html). Designed for then-available short reach brakes, and 28mm tires with fenders (RH Chinook Pass); 30mm tires will also fit, depending on actual dimensions and rims. For wider tires, some riders have happily converted these to 650b using long reach brakes that were not available when the frame was made; Tektro 559s, as usual, or similar. The frame bears only the slightest mark on the inside of one rear dropout, probably a sign of having been fitted with a wheel at some point; it is otherwise pristine with all decals and the Heron head badge in perfect condition. I'm asking $600, plus shipping and insurance. I'm selling because I am moving. (Meanwhile a local friend has sold me a beautiful custom Riv road bike, made by Curt Goodrich for Douglas Brooks. So, n-1; n+1 = 0, at least for now).
