52 cm c to c seat tube, 65 cm BB to top of saddle, 650B wheels.
Totally outstanding Herse bike, one of two known Herse bikes with a fixed seat tube (original feature).
Recent repaint, I chose a very thin paint job that does justice to the fantastic lugwork and brazing on this bike. And paint that is not too shiny.
I've included a set of photos of the stripped down bike, I believe that all repainted bikes should have a restoration dossier so that the buyer can know ewactly what's going on under the paint. It's just too easy to conceal hidden defects under new paint or chrome.  In this case the frame was in superb totally uncorroded condition.  
The photos of the bare frame also show what a fantastic artisan Mr Herse was.
All parts original to the bike. 
This particular model has every desirable feature you could hope for on a best Herse of the best years :  
SKF annular bearings BB with the beautiful Herse caches. 
Maxi-Car hubs, 3 étoiles spokes, Mephisto rims (no logo)
Herse stem with integrated bell and brake stop.
Herse triple crankset (very rare).
Herse front derailleur.
Herse brakes and rollers.
Herse special eccentric front derailleur lever. Superb design.
Herse special "maison" lever for activating the Jos X dynamo under the saddle. There again supremely elegant and functional.
Cyclo randonneur 5  speed derailleur (rare) 
Carriers with brake protectors and "fork" double fixation to the dropout (rear carrier missing).
Jos lighting.
Lefol Le Paon guards with black/gold stripe.
Jos lighting.
Idéale alu base saddle.
Philippe bar end plugs.
Philippe pro bars.
Bell wing nuts.
Internal cables, very beautifully crafted cable entry/exit. 
These Herse bikes have unsurpassable class..... The equivalent in the bike world of a Bugatti.
