RAM on Ordinaries...

We have several friends who have been doing 100k's on their Ordinaries with The Wheelmen and you'll most likely find Larry Black tooling around at LAB cycling events in the DC area on one of his Ordinaries. I'm just looking to buy one and am looking for feedback from any one who may own and ride one on a regular basis who has formed an opinion on some of the various models and/or who may know of the whereabouts of an authentic antique. I'm pretty sure the Victory is a safe bet, albeit a bit expensive -- as are the Czech-made models. But, always good to check around.
