The world is full of retro "fakes and frauds" Jaguar, LandRover, Raleigh, Motobecane, Volvo (by ford), but if they are soundly engineered and are fun to ride or drive enjoy them as they are, part of a "names" rich tapestry. If they are not good value for miney they will eventually go down the gurgler completly. Me I just prefer older bikes made of steel. /dlh
