I think we'd all agree with that statement. This is exactly the kind of bike that many of us C&V (classic & Vintage) fans refer to when we suggest that people not bother buying a new cheap bike (because new+cheap is often crappy) and to look for a quality older bike like this. It just doesn't matter whether it was only the True Temper tubing that was made in the USA and the rest was put together in Taiwan; it's a long-lasting, quality package either way.
