I have definitely seen this forum........many times! In fact, Bogester's golden Gran Turismo is what inspired me to vintage rides. I was trying to find any info I could about my own 'Vega and ran across his in google images. I remember my eyes growing rather large and a resounding "YES....That's what I want!!!!" eminating from my mind across the far reaches of the Universe. I really wish that my 'Vega weren't too small, but the 614 that I purchased only a couple of weeks ago for $150 has satisfied the thirst incredibly. Reynolds 531 frame tubes, Ishiwata Mangy 10 stays and forks, and all around great components and geometry. Yes.........I love this bike. It's everything I was trying to get out of the 'Vega with not much luck.
