Swiss Herger Racing Bike
Just found this lovely Herger racing bike in Lausanne. Built by Beni Herger in Zurich I think it is from the late 1980s or very early 1990s.
Handbuilt from Colombus SLX tubing it rides silently and is very fast!
Hope you enjoy the pictures - will post better ones soon.

Looking good. Pictures of the drive side showing crank, derailleurs, etc. would be helpful as well.
