People who ride without the pretense of collecting or care (question the

notion) of authenticity would not find this odd at all. In the late 60's where I was, a sign of a novice was not customizing their bike with

their componentry. I could extend this concept if one had enough money to build up a frame new, but it was even more apparent with many who pieced up a frame. Most riders break stuff over time, most think it is good to get a brand spankin' new component. Most of the real riders I know have no interest

matching the original component and would be totally entertained by the notion. This list is an ivory tower...
