Mike, if I am not mistaken that is the old geometry.  I wonder what the standover is? 

[mikel...@juno.com]

joel,

they didnt make herons very long and only a handful of the Randos so i dont think or know if geometry changed. you can email my buddy through craigslist for the standover

As I'm sure everyone knows, the Heron geo information is still available, though not standover figures: http://www.heronbicycles.com/geometry.html.   The geometry for the Heron Randonneur--very few of them made, as you say, Mike--is not so different from the Touring or Road models in terms of rake.  If this one were a 59 or 61 . . . !

Greg Parker has kindly shared with me that the Sportif has more of a lower-mid trail configuration, with standard diameter tubing, and a level TT.

My buddy was told it's 1 of 18 randos made

Tom, 

Do you know if this is a Ted Durant or Todd Kuzma Heron? The site you linked to discusses a Sportif model supposedly showing up in 2017 (third owner of the Heron company) but I'm not clear if they ever got going.

Hi Joe,

If you contact Greg Parker, he can get you a frame; the Sportifs are classy and classic-looking. While they are not designed for this w-i-d-e tire moment, they sure look like wonderful road bike frames that will accommodate tires suitable for randonneuring.  It'd be great to see them built up and as bare frames on the Heron web pages!

Tom
