Among the familiar brands at Eurobike (and Interbike, for that matter) are myriad smaller brands -brands like Hersh- that often surprise and delight.

Case in point, their Performance Disc road bike. Beyond being a 990g frame with some beautiful design features, it’s also available in both stock and full custom geometry. And it’s all made in Italy. Check out more models and details below…

The headtube and downtube junction flows around the fork’s crown, accentuated nicely by their lovely blue and orange paint scheme (have we mentioned we’re partial to those colors?).

In back, they took full advantage of not needing room for a brake caliper and shaped the stays for clever aerodynamics. They’re flattened, then canted inward so that air moving off the to of the wheel flows smoothly between them, and air coming from the front of the bike as you ride through it is pushed out, away from the spinning wheel. Does it work? Maybe, but it sure looks good.

The Performance frame is also available in a rim brake version, which also comes in stock and custom frames.

Their Speed frame is a full custom frame that uses slightly smaller tube shapes to come in a bit lighter at 950g.

It gets a new Disc version that trades rim brakes for disc brakes. Hersh also has TT and mountain bikes, all sold as framesets or complete bikes.

Nice to see Hersh is still making the best out of post-mount disc brake caliper fitment. Lovely paintwork on the head tube and fork junction too.
