Well, that was interesting but I really couldn't care less what Consumer Reports says about bicycles. They remind me too much of the CPSC, who did nothing good for bicycles.
Before my Bob Jakson, I had a 1973 Raleigh Grand Prix whose components had been completely changed for better gear. If they think the Grand Prix was good to very good, well, it was barely acceptable in stock form and ..., like I said,... I really don't care what they say.
