zzzzzzzzzz oh sorry, lost me for a sec......... You're right we could also discuss what constitutes a real Schwinn Paramount, or a real Rivendell, isn't a Reparto Corse Bianchi more real than a regular production model? A Legnano made under Bianchi ownership lacks a little compared to older models? A Raleigh Pro with fastback stays better than later models? Must we really obsess over who made it? If you've got a good example vs one with mistakes shouldn't you should be happy?
