In this example - Build quality - thought that was obvious.

Again, not to knock Bruce Gordon's product but we've got people going on here about their BG bikes lasting 15 years, while at the same time others are knocking the off the shelf bikes as not even on the same page in comparison. I beg to differ. There is nothing extraordinary about my 89 520. it's been well ridden, and well cared for, and no one is more amazed than i at its longevity. But it has proven what it is, a high quality bike. A bike that will put another 1500 to 2000 miles under its tires this season.
