After reading this thread commuting newbies might come to understand the true value
of the older bikes that were so well made they last for decades!
A little elbow grease, some love and vision to see what these bikes are yet today will get a newbie
a swell ride that might just last them a few more decades.
I seriously doubt that many production bikes built today will last for decades 'cause they really
don't "build bikes like they used to".
