Frank, they have been doing it this way since 1946!!! If the bikes were no good they wouldn't still be in business. Like I mentioned, I love the 1959 Mercian Vigorelli Superlight road/track that I ride all the time, and it looks like it has suffered plenty of abuse from some of its previous owners and is still in one piece.
