Is this a Hetre on a HIlsen?

Or maybe a Hetre on a Saluki bearing Hilsen decals? Are they making
Hetres in 700c now?

Sure look like it, doesn't it? However, I don't think you could do it with
the Silver brakes. You'd need more reach.

That probably it. There are some of those beasts in existence.

Not that I've heard, but they should!

Speaking of Hetres, will they fit on a Bleriot? And if so, with or
without Honjos?

More than likely an AHH-decaled Saluki. That color was/is a standard Saluki
color.
