Hate to be the naysayer but the 90's models had terrible chrome, paint and fittings. I watched one deteriorate badly over the course of a year or two in use as a full time commuter. Everything rusted prematurely.

I can't speak for the new ones except that I've looked closely at them and they seem to be well made. But a guvnor is about $1200...ouch! You can get a number of quality original Raleigh's for that money. Go original or stay home.
