Let's all remember right after being a bike fiend Grant is a Marketing Person and by plying his trade he makes a living. From time to time he tries to give "iconhood" to some item or other, some with success, some without. A lot of it being straight marketing hype with very little substance. My guess is the person that sold him the warehouse of the things told him they were Jubilee and he took them at their word wether he knew or not. People that unload huge NOS stockpiles many times don't have all the details and a lot of stuff is actually not really as advertised. In the past I've dealt with a few of these folks, but you usually wouldn't deal with them unless you were mail order or a distributor, like Grant. Has anyone called Grant and asked what the story is? I don't want to look like a GP appologist but honest mistakes happen quite often in this business when you're dealing with NOS parts. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives
