If you break it, theres like no way you're going to fix it.
Stuff like old BBs and Cottered cranks make me cringe.
The vintage aesthetic is the only thing I can think of that would make you want to ride one.
It's like running a 486 when you could run at least PII-300.
The hardware just isn't practical.
That is all.
the chainring was the main thing for me, and the fact that it was originally born in Toronto. I also didn't take pictures of the Hero saddle from India and the built in chain tensioners on the horizontal track ends. As far as performance I'd probaby use it to to cruise through Kensington on a warm summers day, that's about it.
it's like listening to a record when you could listen to at least an MP3.
