Mint / near mint+ / near mint / excellent+ / excellent / great / very good / average / fair.

Description

This is the modern reproduction of the original 1950's era Rene Herse cranksets!  They have become the prime cost-no-option for modern rando bikes, vintage randonneuse bikes, touring bikes, and even commuter bikes.  They represent a substantial upgrade over TA Pro 5 Vis or Velo Orange Cyclotouriste cranks.

From the manufacturer

"Where beauty meets performance. Rene Herse cranks are a modern classic. Thanks to their smart design and net-shape forging, they are among the lightest cranks available today, while offering a great choice of chainrings: from 52 to 24 teeth. Whether you want a classic racing double or ultra-compact cranks to match your pedaling style, Rene Herse cranks are available with the chainring combination you need.

Rene Herse cranks are designed for 5- to 9-speed systems. They are compatible with 10-speed systems when using a Shimano Ultegra chain, but we recommend our 9- to 12-speed cranks for optimum shifting performance with modern drivetrains.
