dont think the overused negative term repo doesnt apply here,some ppl ate stuck back 20 yrs when repro stuff like the stuff from that place in missouri made junk,new mfg tenologies have made bikes and parts so much better,than pre 90s,ppl who have to much money in their og bikes are afraid a newer,rideable bike is going to hurt the non-realistic value,reality sets in when one of these bikes are up for sale and a week later are offerd for parts
