The phrase is = it's complicated.

No rod brake parts; No standard inventory of vintage brake parts, no service on old coaster brakes, etc

Oh yeah , don't forget all the BB options in the last decade and crank compatibility.
Any headset experts want to explain the range of "standards" to customers wanting quick or cheap solutions.
Wow.... Oh brother. That'll make you think for a while.... Start taking pictures and build that POSTER.!!! All 12 of 'em. Ha.!!
