Usually the original owner's lifetime then the lifetimes of several subsequent owners. Sometimes someone will overhaul one, but I think it's mainly for entertainment than necessity. My friend Jon is a rabid British bike collector and has dozens of bikes, many of them pre-WW II, and has rarely had to take apart an S-A. 70-80 years old, add a few drops of oil and they work fine. Some people would say that indicates over-design, which is bad design. Personally, I love it. -- - Frank Krygowski |
