Jack, I've owned the same Atala Gran Prix since January, 1969. That's 33 years but I meet people all the time who, like the Masi owner you mentioned, are still riding bikes purchased in the early '60s. Ocassionally, I meet people riding bikes that that they originally purchased in the '50s although these always seem to have been upgraded to what was then modern equipment in the '60s or early '70s. Cheers, Fred Rednor - still feeling young in Arlington, Virginia
