opinions?
Honestly? Both sound like rip-off's to me. If I wanted a true 68 Mustang Shelby...that is what I want...not something that was "turned into" one...it never was one, IMHO. Same applies to bikes...even the idea of turning one into a "team bike"...sounds like a rip off to me.
But...that is just my opinion...
