[RBW] Re: FS: 53cm Heron Wayfarer F/F/HS $700 + shipping
I'm very interested in the bike, but I see this was posted a couple months ago. Is it still available for sale? If it was, how much would it cost to send it to St. Paul MN?

See, I can put a lowrider on the Betty, no problem! Anyway, the frame is in great shape. A few very minor paint dings and a decal scratch. All straight, no dents or anything. Bailey Falls Blue is the color. An interesting dark blue/green metallic. I have a bottle of touch up paint for it from Waterford and an extra decal set. Stronglight A9 alloy headset with both sealed and needle bearing set. The sealed bearings are installed - the needle bearing set is new and unused. This is a really great frame for all around riding or loaded touring. Very comfortable and stable yet pretty lively thanks to the geo and the tubing selection. 26 wheels on the 53cm frame. Grant design and Waterford build. The Wayfarer is basically the Heron Touring frame with these changes: • Features a new, heavy-duty fork equipped with mid-fork braze-ons for low-rider rack mounting. • New stainless steel dropouts are left bare on the mounting surfaces to prevent paint damage from quick release skewers and hubs. • The chainstay bridge is positioned the same distance from the rear axle as the seatstay bridge to provide a cleaner fender installation. • The seatstay and chainstay bridges provide braze-ons for simple, direct fender mounting. The 53cm will fit a saddle height of ~66 to 69cm. Depends how much post you want to show.

I have gotten a few questions about the stand over. It is 78.5cm with 32mm Paselas at the middle of the TT.

A true beauty, the color is stunning and the detail just accentuates the artistry in creating such a gem...truly tempting, bikes are working art, I wish I could justify it, but my wife is getting a Betty Foy after her knee replacement. Thanks for letting us gaze on it.
