As a relatively new member I've been intrigued by the current Hetchins debate. I bought a 1992 Hetchins Scopion Bonum before I knew about any of the brohaha concerning which builders are the true keepers of the flame. During the 10 years I've owned the bike I've really enjoyed it. It's the bike I ride on my local annual century ride. While I think I understand the arguements on both sides, I'm curious about the actual ride & craftmenship of the controversial Omega Hetchins. They look really nice on the website. Have any of the list members had the opportunity to ride one? If I had the bucks, I'd get one just to compare with my Miller Hetchins.
