Really? In the real world, voting does not establish fact in a case like this. I never stated it was not Mexican built, only that Ray Florman said it was not a Raysport.

The established facts support the theory that it is Mexican built, but does not prove it as we do not know who built it. When Brad is able to remove the 35 x 1 cup, we may have more supporting evidence...depending on if the cup is Swiss or French. Even then it is only supporting evidence, and not conclusive.

I know Brad is waiting for more info from the original owner. Why don't we wait for that instead of making premature statements?

It may come down to not ever really knowing who or where it was built. Either way, it is without a doubt a nice bike and Brad has a keeper.
