It was where I was from - rich brats. $500 and up was common. But they are nice bikes - especially for their day. I'd see them jumping curbs and holding onto cars doing 40mph. This was typical of the things the kids put these through. Bottom-Line: The Fuji and Motobecane and Univega would survive with little damage. The kids would end up in casts and limping. LOL.
They are quite well made machines. Wish I'd bought up a fleet.
