... VO42 ... 56 cm here. why such a "poor attempt" please. wayne b. put the hd and bb on, and other than a plastic fork medal popping off ... wayne glued it back on ... and other than the 130 rear fork end that prompted my "problemo" post recenty (thanks to relpiers very, very much) it looks useable to me. since it's a poor attempt ... guess it's headed for the local dumpster.

This is just one person's highly biased opinion but they were a poor attempt. The moral of this story is that reproductions are NEVER satisfactory, and only achieve the true purpose, to separate the buyer from her/his money...

I know this technically off topic, but hope it comes in under the wire as KOF. Can anyone tell me about the 25th anniversary reproduction frames made by GIOS? Do they measure up to the originals? I appreciate any comments or info.

Thanks
