Kilroy,
This thread started on 2/20/19 by Gugie, It started with the picture of a Chrome Gran Sport that was Stripped of all its components. The thread talked all about the Gran Sport. It lasted but only 14 days, ending on 3/04/19, over a year ago.
I started it back up yesterday, over a year from the last entry.
You are the person talking of subject, quoting Wikipedia, a self proclaimed unreliable source of information.
And your quoting Bike History from Time Magazine articles taken from facts about Xmass Bike sales from an interview of the Buyer at Macy's Department Store.
