I own a Boulder RS and a Rivendell Homer Hilsen. They are very different bikes.
The Boulder has skinny lightweight tubing (7-4-7 tt) and planes very well for

Also check out Brian Chapman in Rhode Island (Chapman Cycles)! His

I am well aware of the Herse brand. (No longer Kone's btw.).
Mike Kone and colleagues are the only bicycle builders legally able to make
a bicycle under the Herse brand. Not sure the importance of who owns the
name.

I'm planning on replacing the Hilsen after PBP with a dedicated rando bike. I'm
thinking I'd like a lighter tubed, livelier bike for brevets. I've considered
both Boulder and Herse, but since I'm in CT I'm going to go talk to Peter
Weigle, and hopefully ride one of his 650B, low trail bikes,

It's all the above, in balance with the rider's strength, flexibility,
baggage, and the road/trail! The original response by Matthew J rings
true. I ride a green Quickbeam, and an early 1970's Gitane. The Rivendell
has strong English roots, and the Gitane is, well, French, but is a road

I was wondering if there was another brand he is involved in. Right now all I

I might be misunderstanding the use of the word plush

Weigle is pretty pricey but I have become pretty adept at justifying bike
purchases.
Anything Peter makes is worth the price. My understanding is his wait list
is very long, however. I suspect most people who get Weigles are buying
their second or third (or even more) customs.
