I commute daily on a 30 year old bicycle which use Industry Standard Parts. This bike has parts from Switzerland, France, Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China, America, Germany, Australia and the UK. The parts are interchangeable over the planet and over time. To me this a GREAT reason to consider the MIT.
it equates to HIGHER QUALITY at a LOWER COST w/more choices ya gotta love it.
