I think there's a very, very big 'agenda' out there thats propagated by certain groups of people. One make's highly regarded because 'X' held the torch while another make is even more highly regarded but 'Y' never held the torch. Its all B.S.

That being said, my 1980-ish Mexcio is the nicest riding bike I own. How's the quality? I guess its OK, there're no glaring issues but the internal BB mitering isnt close to that of my Fuso.
